<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script>
$(function () {
$('form').on('submit', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: 'post.php',
data: $('form').serialize(),
success: function () {
alert('form was submitted');
}
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input name="time" value="00:00:00.00"><br>

Here is a nice plugin for jQuery that submits forms via ajax:
http://malsup.com/jquery/form/
its as simple as:
<script src="http://malsup.github.com/jquery.form.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#myForm').ajaxForm(function() {
alert('form was submitted');
});
});
</script>
It uses the forms action for the post location. Not that you can't achieve this with your own code but this plugin has worked very nicely for me!

Can anyone tell me why this bit of code isn't working?
<html> <head> <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script> <script> $(function () { $('form').bind('submit', function () { $.ajax({ type: 'post', url: 'post.php', data: $('form').serialize(), success: function () { alert('form was submitted'); } }); return false; }); }); </script> </head> <body> <form> <input name="time" value="00:00:00.00"><br> <input name="date" value="0000-00-00"><br> <input name="submit" type="button" value="Submit"> </form> </body> </html>When I push submit nothing happens. In the receiving php file I'm using $_POST['time'] and $_POST['date'] to put the data in a mysql query but it's just not getting the data. Any suggestions? I'm assuming it's something to do with the submit button but I can't figure it out

NaN about 11 yearsshould usepreventDefault in the first lineof the event ofon('submit'... -
underscore about 11 years@EASI It's not a problem.$.ajax part work along So it's not a problem -
GlassHalfAwesome about 11 yearsThis did the trick! Thanks so much. I knew something was wrong with the button but I didn't have a clue about the preventDefault
-
Kevin Bowersox about 11 years@user2395143 Glad I could help.
-
Vadorequest almost 10 years@samitha @EASI is right, if a JS fatal error happens then thepreventDefaultwon't be hit and the page will reload, debug difficult, better to use prevenDefault ASAP. -
Fil about 7 yearsLittle bug in second 'if': it should be "if(isset($_POST['date'])){$date=$_POST['date']}"
-
Gem about 5 years@KevinBowersox can i get help regard AJAX at forum.jquery.com/topic/… I need to pass two value. The value 1 passing good, how to pass my second value with the same condition.
