Question

My Ajax code

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#sub").click(function() {
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "jqueryphp.php",
            data: "txt1=" + txt1,
            success: function(result) {
                $("div").html(result);
            }
        });
    });
});​

This is the form code . I want to pass txt1 value to Ajax

<input type="text" name="txt1" id="txt1" /><br>
<input type="button" name="sub" id="sub" value="click Me" />

I want to pass txt1 value to my php page using this Ajax function.

Please tell me what exactly will come in the data attribute of Ajax

Answer 1

Send data as an object instead of a string and to retreive the value of the text field, use val():

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#sub").click(function() {
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "jqueryphp.php",
            data: {
                txt1: $("#txt1").val()
            },
            success: function(result) {
                $("div").html(result);
            }
        });
    });
});​
