This seems rather perverse, is there really a good reason for the client to
know the datasource name?
My preference for doing Ajax data saves is to take a regular form that will
work without js, then do the following:
<form action="action.cfm(whatever)" id="myform...>..</form>
$('.myform').submit(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var target = $(this).attr('action');
var postData = $(this).serialize();
postData.ajax = true; // to differentiate this from a regular post
$.post( target, data, function(data){
//js code to handle response from server
});
});
In this instance, action.cfm will behave almost the same for a user with or
without js - the only difference being what it does after process the data.
If form.ajax exists and is true, spit out some JSON response; otherwise,
redirect user to confirmation page or whatever. The js ideally should
neither have nor need any server side knowledge.
