Question

I have a form in my application which I need to submit via Ajax (JQuery), however It needs to get submitted remotely from my JavaScript (i.e. I can not user :remote => true).

I can locate my form in my JavaScript no problems:

my_form = $("#the_id_of_the_form");

Then I create my Ajax request:

$.post('hardcoded path?', function(data) {
  // how would I serialize my parameters?
});

Many thanks.

from jquery api

Example: send form data using ajax requests

$.post("test.php", $("#testform").serialize());

In your situation it can be something like that.

$('#your_form').submit(function(event) {
  event.preventDefault();  
  $.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: $(this).attr('action'),
    data: $(this).serialize(),
    dataType: "JSON"
  });
});
