Question

suppose I have a form:

<form id="someform" action="some.php" method="get">
    <input type="text" name="somename" />
    <input type="text" name="othername" />
    ...
    <input id="submitId" type="submit" value="OK" />
</form>

And I want to get the request string generated by this:

?somename=blabla&othername=blablabla&submit=OK

Can I get this without actually submitting the form?

$('#submitId').live('click', function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    //... what to do here?
});

Another one, if I have the request string, can I put them to the form? (reversed).

Thanks.

Try using http://api.jquery.com/serialize/

$('#submitId').live('click', function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
$('#someform').serialize();
});
