Question

The script called New script is suppose to output 2 integer variables anchor and signed.

I would like to replace Old script with New script, but as you can see, they are very different.

Question

How do I submit/post anchor and signed in New script?

New script

$(window).load(function() {

    $('form').delegate('input:submit', 'click', function() {
        var anchor = this.name;
        var checkboxState = $('#' + anchor).find('input:checkbox').is(':checked');

        var signed = 0;
        if (checkboxState == true) {
            signed = 1;
        }

        alert(anchor + ' ' + signed);

        return false;
    });
});

Old script

// sends the form content to server side, and stay on page
$('form').live('submit', function() {

    $.post($(this).attr('action'), $(this).serialize(), function(response) {
        // do something here on success
    }, 'json');

    // don't redirect
    return false;
});

HTML

<form action="/cgi-bin/receiver.pl" method="post">

Answer 1

Put this

$.post($(this).prop('action'), {anchor: anchor, signed: signed}, function(response) {
   // do something here on success
}, 'json');

in place of alert

Here is the proper one, and running ok.
