Question

I have a HTML/PHP form using using post to send form data to a script php file. I want to send the data with out the page reloading upon clicking the submit button.

I am wondering how do implement AJAX to allow this functionality.

I have a good grasp of Javascript but have never used ajax technology.

If this question is beyond the scope of this Q&A if anyone could please point me in the right direction to a good tutorial That will allow me to implement this technology with out having to spend a couple of days learning how it all works. I am working with a very short deadline.

Cheers.

Answer 1

you can serialize and then post form data with jquery and optionally handle the response.

the following is an example from jquery’s documentation http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.post/:

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