Question

This code will submit the information from the form to a php file, everything works as it should, but when i write “hello this a text + – * ” it remove the ” + ” sign from what i wrote, always. I dont know why, please help me out guys

 $(document).ready(function(){
        $("form#submit").submit(function() {
        // we want to store the values from the form input box, then send via ajax below
        var fname     = $('#fname').attr('value');
        var lname     = $('#lname').attr('value');

                    //$('form#submit :input').val("");
                    $('div.success').fadeIn();
                }
            });
        return false;
        });
    });

Answer 1

if fname and lname are text boxes, why not use the .val() to retrieve them?

var fname = $('#fname').val();
var lname = $('#lname').val(); 

or better, use form .serialize() directly on the ajax:

$(function () {
    $("form#submit").submit(function () {
        var form = $(this)
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "Mail.php",
            data: form.serialize() //turns the form data into a query string
            success: function () {
                $('form#submit').show();
                $('div.success').fadeIn();
            }
        });
        return false;
    });
});
