I’m trying to AJAXIFY a form without using jQuery plugins. What is the process for making this happen. I have my form. What should I set the action to? What should the header script be? Keep in mind that I do not want to use any plugins. I just need a basic algorithm for ajaxifying forms using jquery.
The action should be whatever it would be if you weren’t using JavaScript.
NB: The links below all go to the relevant section of the jQuery documentation)
Then you would bind a function to the
submitevent that serialized the form data and used that to make an Ajax request (probably reading the URI from the action attribute). It would have to prevent the default action for submit events.I believe jQuery sets an X-Requested-With HTTP header. So you just need to modify your server side process to return different data if that is present (with the right value). This could be as simple as just switching to a different view (if you are using a MVC pattern).
