Hi, I believe you can post form either using $.post or $.ajax method and there's a function called serialize( ), which serializes form data, instead of typing it's data in key value pairs manually.
Serialize: http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/serialize $.post and $.ajax: http://docs.jquery.com/Post http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/jQuery.ajax Rough example: Suppose, you have an HTML form: <form name="testForm" id="testForm" action="process.php" method="post"> Name: <input type="text" name="f_name" value="" /> <br /> Email: <input type="text" name="f_email" value="" /> <br /> .... <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> When posting via form submission, using $.post method: $("#testForm").submit(function() { // do validation.. if you want and then post it. $.post("process.php", $(this).serialize(), function(data) { alert( data ) ; /// alert data from server, or do something else }); return false; }); You can also use $.ajax instead of $.post method. I hope it helps, Thanks, Abdullah On Mar 29, 4:34 am, iceangel89 <iceange...@gmail.com> wrote: > how can i post a form to server using jquery? > > $.post requires me to post data in key value pairs. if the form is big > then that's a bit tedious. any better way?
