Question

$.ajax({
  url: '/create_lead',
  data: {
    name: $('#lead_gen_name').val(),
    lead_gen[email]: $('#lead_gen_email').val(),  
  },
  type: 'POST',
  dataType: 'json',
  success: function(data) {
  }
});

I would like to use the jQuery Post method to post a hash of information. I would like it to post in this format lead_gen[email], lead_gen[address] and so on…

How does one format the Post method to do this. The above code fails with a syntax error.

Answer 1

It looks to me like it should work, but for the fact that lead_gen[email]: won’t work as a key the way you have it here. Put quotes around it.

$.ajax({
  url: '/create_lead',
  data: {
    name: $('#lead_gen_name').val(),
    'lead_gen[email]': $('#lead_gen_email').val(),  
  },
  type: 'POST',
  dataType: 'json',
  success: function(data) { }
});
