copied!<p>You'll have to do things manually with an AJAX call to the server. This will require you to override the form as well.</p> <p>But don't worry, it's a piece of cake. Here's an overview on how you'll go about working with your form:</p> <ul> <li>override the default submit action (thanks to the passed in event object, that has a <code>preventDefault</code> method)</li> <li>grab all necessary values from the form</li> <li>fire off an HTTP request</li> <li>handle the response to the request</li> </ul> <p>First, you'll have to cancel the form submit action like so:</p> <pre><code>$("#myform").submit(function(event) { // Cancels the form's submit action. event.preventDefault(); }); </code></pre> <p>And then, grab the value of the data. Let's just assume you have one text box.</p> <pre><code>$("#myform").submit(function(event) { event.preventDefault(); var val = $(this).find('input[type="text"]').val(); }); </code></pre> <p>And then fire off a request. Let's just assume it's a POST request.</p> <pre><code>$("#myform").submit(function(event) { event.preventDefault(); var val = $(this).find('input[type="text"]').val(); // I like to use defers :) deferred = $.post("http://somewhere.com", { val: val }); deferred.success(function () { // Do your stuff. }); deferred.error(function () { // Handle any errors here. }); }); </code></pre> <p>And this should about do it.</p> <p><strong>Note 2:</strong> For parsing the form's data, it's preferable that you use a <a href="http://css-tricks.com/snippets/jquery/serialize-form-to-json/">plugin</a>. It will make your life really easy, as well as provide a nice semantic that mimics an actual form submit action.</p> <p><strong>Note 2:</strong> You don't have to use defers. It's just a personal preference. You can equally do the following, and it should work, too.</p> <pre><code>$.post("http://somewhere.com", { val: val }, function () { // Start partying here. }, function () { // Handle the bad news here. }); </code></pre>
