A. Based on the use case you describe, it seems you may actually want
the "onsubmit" event rather than "onclick" (Make sure your button is
of type submit)
B. If the form fields you're wishing to add are the only other inputs
in the form, you can collect them with Form.serialize('idOfForm',
true); [1] Otherwise, do something like {email: $('email').value,
zipcode: $('zipcode).value}
C. Pass the form fields to the 'parameters' option. [2] [3] e.x.:
new Ajax.Updater('div123', '/gotit.php', {
method: 'get', //default is 'post'; use whichever is most
appropriate to your situation
parameters: Form.serialize('idOfForm', true),
asynchronous:true, // Default behavior. Not needed.
evalScripts:true
});

3. A side comment here to those responsible for documentation: The
example Ajax.Request (at http://www.prototypejs.org/api/ajax/
request ) doesn't use "parameters" but builds its request string
manually. Perhaps a different/additional example would be useful.
