jquery submit form via ajax
// jQuery ajax form submit example, runs when form is submitted
$("#myFormID").submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault(); // prevent actual form submit
var form = $(this);
var url = form.attr('action'); //get submit url [replace url here if desired]
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: url,
data: form.serialize(), // serializes form input
success: function(data){
console.log(data);
}
});
});
// It is simply
$('form').submit();
// However, you're most likely wanting to operate on the form data
// So you will have to do something like the following...
$('form').submit(function(e){
// Stop the form submitting
e.preventDefault();
// Do whatever it is you wish to do
//...
// Now submit it
// Don't use $(this).submit() FFS!
// You'll never leave this function & smash the call stack! :D
e.currentTarget.submit();
});
