Question

I am having a hard time with my comiler passing variables to my .Post method in Jquery…

    $(function () {
    $("#DemoGraphSubmit").click(function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        var form = $("#DemoGraphID").serialize();
        var PopID = <% =PopID %>
        var options = [];
        var serializedForm = form.serialize();
        $.post("/PatientACO/SearchByDemographic", {PopID,form}, function (data) {
            options = $.map(data, function (item, i) {
                return "<option value=" + item.Value + ">" + item.Text + "</option>";
            });
            $("#PatientListToAdd").html(options.join(""));
        });
    });
});

The second parameter of the $.post() method… It keeps telling me I need a “:”… How does one set up variables and pass them to functions in jquery?

Answer 1

The data that you pass to post method can be a well formed json object or a querystring param as below

//json

{ PopID: PopID, form: form }

//string

"PopID="+PopID+"&form="+form;
