Question

I have this jquery ajax code that submits my form if it gets changed. My only problem is that I also have a country jquery selection in my form and everytime i click on the autocomplete suggestion the form with the old/last value get’s submitted.
Example: I search for “Austria” and click on it and an empty value gets submitted. Then I change it to “Poland” and “at” for Austria is submitted.
My idea is to delay the ajax call: $.ajax but I couldn’t find out how.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(
function submitFormAjax()
{
    $('#myForm').change(function() {
        $.ajax({
            type:"POST",
            url:"ajax.php",
            data:$(this).serialize(),
            success:function(data)
            {
                $("#ajaxList").html(data);

            }
        })

      return false;
    });
});
</script>

Not sure if it will work, hard to tell without seeing more of the code, but here’s how to delay the $.ajax !

$('#myForm').on('change', function() {
   setTimeout(submitFormAjax, 200);
   return false;
});
function submitFormAjax() {
    $.ajax({
        type:"POST",
        url:"ajax.php",
        data:$('#myForm').serialize(),
        success:function(data) {
            $("#ajaxList").html(data);
        }
    });
}
