Question

I am developing a web form in JQuery and sending via post to a PHP page.

It looks like this:

$('#form-signup').submit(function(e)
{
    $.ajax(
    {
        type: 'POST',
        data: { name: $('#name').val() },
        url: 'signup_backend.php',
        success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR)
        {
        },
        error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown)
        {
            alert('error');
        }
    });

My web form looks like this:

<form id="form-signup" action="">
    <fieldset>
        <label for="name">Nome</label>
        <input type="text" id="name" name="name" value="<?=$name?>"><span class="required">*</span>
    </fieldset>
    <fieldset>
        <label for="email">Email</label>
        <input type="email" id="email" name="email" value="<?=$email?>"><span class="required">*</span>
    </fieldset>
    <fieldset>
        <label for="tel">Telefone</label><input type="tel" id="tel" name="tel" value="<?=$tel?>"><span class="required">*</span>
    </fieldset>
    <fieldset>
        <div>
            <label class="blocker">Tipo de anunciante</label><span class="required">*</span>
        </div>
        <input type="radio" name="advertiser" id="advertiser_1">
        <label for="advertiser_1" class="aleft">Particular</label>
        <input type="radio" name="advertiser" id="advertiser_2">
        <label for="advertiser_2" class="aleft">Imobiliária</label>
    </fieldset>
    <fieldset>
        <label for="password">Senha</label>
        <input type="password" id="password" name="password" value="<?=$password?>"><span class="required">*</span>
    </fieldset>
    <fieldset>
        <label for="check-password">Confirmação da senha</label>
        <input type="password" id="check-password" name="check_password" value="<?=$check_password?>"><span class="required">*</span>
    </fieldset>
    <fieldset>
        <input type="submit" value="Enviar" id="sub">
    </fieldset>
</form>

When I get the return, my Address shows this:

http://localhost:8888/guia/web/adm/signup.php?name=John&email=&tel=&password=&check_password=

Is there a way to avoid these data from my address bar?

Thanks guys

Prevent the default action of your form submit

$('#form-signup').submit(function(e){
    e.preventDefault(); /// <--- THIS LINE
    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        data: {name: $('#name').val()},
        url: 'signup_backend.php',
        success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR){

        },
        error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
            alert('error');
        }
    });
});
