Jquery for submiting without refresh (no validation required) - php

Question

I have a form for Tags that is working OK, with some server validation, I would like to add a Jquery to submit the content without refreshing:
<form method="post" action="tags">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="getId()" />
<input type="text" name="tag" />
<input type="submit" value="Add" name="add" />
</div>
</form>
Any advice will be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

Check out the jQuery Form Plugin. Using it, you can submit a form without reloading the page like so:
<form id="aForm" action="target.php" method="post>
...
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#aForm").ajaxForm();
});
</script>
The ajaxForm() function also supports all options (such as a callback function) that can be passed to the standard jQuery $.ajax function.

Answer 2

$(document).ready(function() {
$(form).submit( function() { // could use $(#submit).on('click', function(){ as well
$.ajax({
url: 'yourposturl',
data: $(form).serialize(),
Success: function() {
alert('ok');
}
}); //end ajax
return false;
}); //end submit()
});
Should take all form vars , serialize them so the server can receive, the return false is so page doesnt refresh on submit (stops propagation and default)

Answer 3

Add the JQuery javascript library
Turn the submit into a button
<button id="submitbutton" >Add</button>
Add ids to your inputs
<input type="text" id="tag" name="tag" />
And add the jquery to the click for the button ...
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#submitbutton").button().click(function(){
$.post("tags.php",{id: $("#id").val(), tag: $("#tag").val()});
});
});
</script>

Answer 4

<form method="post" action="tags">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="getId()" />
<input type="text" name="tag" />
<input class="button" type="button" value="Add" name="add" />
</div>
</form>
$(function(){
$('.button').click(function(){
var data = $('form').serializeToObject();
$.post('tags.php', data);
});
});
// jQuery Extension to serialize a selector's elements to an object
$.fn.serializeToObject = function () {
var o = {};
var a = this.serializeArray();
$.each(a, function () {
if (o[this.name] !== undefined) {
if (!o[this.name].push) {
o[this.name] = [o[this.name]];
}
o[this.name].push(this.value || '');
} else {
o[this.name] = this.value || '';
}
});
return o;
};
