how o send form data in ajax code example
Example 1: javascript ajax post form data
$(document).ready(function() {
// process the form
$('form').submit(function(event) {
// get the form data
// there are many ways to get this data using jQuery (you can use the class or id also)
var formData = {
'name' : $('input[name=name]').val(),
'email' : $('input[name=email]').val(),
'superheroAlias' : $('input[name=superheroAlias]').val()
};
// process the form
$.ajax({
type : 'POST', // define the type of HTTP verb we want to use (POST for our form)
url : 'process.php', // the url where we want to POST
data : formData, // our data object
dataType : 'json', // what type of data do we expect back from the server
encode : true
})
// using the done promise callback
.done(function(data) {
// log data to the console so we can see
console.log(data);
// here we will handle errors and validation messages
});
// stop the form from submitting the normal way and refreshing the page
event.preventDefault();
});
});
Example 2: ajax submit form data
<form id="contactForm1" action="/your_url" method="post">
<!-- Form input fields here (do not forget your name attributes). -->
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
var frm = $('#contactForm1');
frm.submit(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type: frm.attr('method'),
url: frm.attr('action'),
data: frm.serialize(),
success: function (data) {
console.log('Submission was successful.');
console.log(data);
},
error: function (data) {
console.log('An error occurred.');
console.log(data);
},
});
});
</script>
