Question

Using the submit function from jquery, how can I get it to post to a uri other than the current page?

For example, I would like the post to go to /comments as opposed to /user/blog. I’ve looked at the jQuery API page for submit but I don’t see something about posting to a different page. Here’s the start of the javascript:

jQuery(function() {
  return $('.comment_input').find('form').submit(function(e) {
  });
});

The best way would be to set the action on the form so it doesn’t post to the same page:

<form action="/comments">

You can also set it with jQuery on page load:

jQuery(form).attr( 'action', '/comments' );
