Question

I have a form that I just want to test if my input values are getting submitted correctly. I don’t have any serve script setup yet but I thought I might be able to see my values been appended to my url when I click submit.

Here is what I have so far.

<form id="appointments" action="" method="get">
    <input  type="checkbox" name="check1" value="my value"/>
</form>

I have a div with a graphic on it which is been used for the submit and this is the code I’m using.

submit.click(function(evt){
    evt.preventDefault();
    $this.submit();
});

this is referring to the form id (id="appointments").

When I submit nothing gets appended to my url. Anyone know why.

Answer 1

your declaration is wrong because normal javascript variable can be started with $, so $this is just a local variable, unless you use $this = $(this)

so instead of using $this use $(this) or this.something
