Question

How do you convert this Prototype Ajax call to a jQuery implementation that functions the same way?

JS:

<script style="text/javascript">
    function checkit() {
        var request = new Ajax.Request('/checkit', 
        {
            asynchronous:true, 
            evalScripts:true, 
            parameters: $('checkit_form').serialize(true)
        });
    }
</script>

HTML:

<form id="checkit_form">
 <input type="hidden" id="hashedEnumerable" name="hashedEnumerable" value="X101933488ccf103hghs029sskxiiefdhsYs"> 
</form>

Answer 1

function checkit() {
    var request = $.ajax({
        url: '/checkit',
        data: $('#checkit_form').serialize()
    });

    return request;
}

The return statement isn’t needed, but it allows you to say:

var x = checkit();
x.success(function() { /* DO STUFF */ });
