Question

What is the recommended way in JQUERY to send a dynamic set of data to the server, the set contains items like:

ID: 13
Copy:

hello world….hello world….hello world….hello world….

ID: 122
Copy:

Ding dong …Ding dong …Ding dong …Ding dong …Ding dong …

ID: 11233
Copy:

mre moremore ajkdkjdksjkjdskjdskjdskjds

This could range from 1, to 10 items. What’s the best way to structure that data to post to the server with JQUERY?

Thanks

A JSON array. Note that this is the string representation of a JavaScript array.

'[
   {"ID": 13,
   "Copy": "hello world....hello world....hello world....hello world...."},
   {"ID": 122,
   "Copy": "Ding dong ...Ding dong ...Ding dong ...Ding dong ...Ding dong ..."},
   {"ID": 11233,
    "Copy": "mre moremore ajkdkjdksjkjdskjdskjdskjds"}
 ]'

You can create this programatically using something like::

var array = [];
for(...)
{
  var newEl = {};
  newEl.ID = ...
  newEl.Copy = ...
  array.push(newEl);
}

var jsonText = JSON.stringify(array);

You then pass jsonText as the data parameter to $.ajax.
