jquery input submit code example

Example 1: jquery submit form

// 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();
});

Example 2: jquery get value of input submit

$("#submit_button").click(function() {
    var data = $("#my_form").serialize();
    data += data.length ? "&" : ""; // check if empty
    data += escape($(this).attr("name"))+"="+escape($(this).val());
    // ...
    return false;
});
