    I think you are mixing up java with javascript. Despite their names they are not related to each other in any way. As far as I know, JSONStringer doesn’t exist in javascript nor jquery. JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation, so that means it is very native to the javscript languages (with some subtle differences). Since it’s so close it is very easy to parse Json in javascript.

    Also, javascript is a dynamically typed language so supplying the type as you did normally results in a parse error. Use firebug or the Chrome console when your code doesn’t work. You will see an error when the browser was unable to parse your code.

    for the serialization you probably want to use (in a browser that supports JSON and/or with json2.js)

    var dat = JSON.stringify({
  cno: 2000,
  cname: 'HI',
  cmail: 'HI',
  cphno: '9292',
  cmailtype: 'home',
  cphnotype: 'Office',
  clientno: 1
});

    The url goes where you have put frm.attr("action"). I don’t see where you create the frm object. I don’t think you need a JQuery object for that, document.getElementById is supported in all major browsers and I bet it is faster too.

    var myForm = document.getElementById('myformid');
$.post( 
  myForm.action, 
  dat, 
  function(data) { 
    alert('Response: ' + data); 
  } 
);

    Also as far as I know, postdata has to be in query parameter format so perhaps you need to put something like

    'myData=' + dat,

    Copy/pasting code from the web can get things started quickly but a lot of javascript programmers forget that you have to understand the language first. Don’t just blindly copy code, try to understand what happens. Try to solve problems first without a library and discover where you actually need a library.
