Question

I have an ajax form that I need to serialize. I also need to set the _method of the data form manually. Here is my current implementation.

 $.ajax({
            url: http://someposturl.com/object,
            type: 'POST',
            data: {
                _method: method
            },
            data: $('form').serialize(),
            success: function(json) {
               alert("YAY");
            },
            error: function(json){
               alert("BOO!"):
            }
        });

Unfortunately, as I’m doing it above, the data variable is being overwritten.

How would I write this so that the data contains both the _method and the serialized form?

try this:

var data = $('form').serialize() + "&_method=" + method;  

$.ajax({
        url: http://someposturl.com/object,
        type: 'POST',
        data: data,
        success: function(json) {
           alert("YAY");
        },
        error: function(json){
           alert("BOO!"):
        }
    });
