So, by post the form, you just mean that once all has been validated,
that you need the Form fields (all inputs -- hidden, radio, textarea,
select, etc.) to be passed to the server via Ajax right?
Have you tried something like this:
<script>
function CreateDataObject(){
var obj = new Object;
// all inputs of type text, hidden, select and textarea
$("input:text,input:hidden,select,textarea").each(function(){
obj[this.name] = this.value;
//eval("obj." + this.name + " = '" + this.value + "';");
});
//dump(obj,false);
return obj
}
var HasBeenSubmitted = false;
function SaveApplication(){
if(!HasBeenSubmitted){
// first validate the form
if(ValidateForm(true)){
HasBeenSubmitted = true;
var myStruct = CreateDataObject();
//dump(myStruct);
var parms = "ApplicationData=" + $.toJSON(myStruct);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "ProcessEmploymentApp.cfm",
datatype: "html",
data: parms,
success: function(data){
location.href="thankyou.cfm";
},
error: function(data){
alert("There was a problem submitting/");
}
});
}
}
else{
alert("can't submit more than once.");
return;
}
}
<script>
The CreateDataObject (a lousy name for it probably), creates what you
can think of as a struct which contains name/value pairs which I then
pass to the handling CFM page via ajax.
Have you tried a method like this? I've mentioned this code to someone
on the jQuery list once (it may have been you). Daemach and I were
tag-team helping someone and this was my proposed solution. This is code
that I'm actually using in a production environment.
Does this help? Let me know if any of it doesn't make sense.
Cheers,
Chris
