I'm trying to put my first Ajax to use by creating a login form.
To get there, I'm attempting to modify the first tutorial I've found which
I understand enough to understand what it's doing and how it's working
with a ColdFusion backend.
Anyway, my first question is: How do I modify the code below to
send an email address (form.email_address) and password (form.password)
to the url: "request_processor.cfm"?
The code below was just for a form with a select which, when the value
changed,
would cause an item in a db to be read and appear. I'm modifying it for
email_address
and password fields, with a submit button.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#contentdiv').html(' ');
$('#idm').change(function(){
var formval = {idm:$(this).val()};
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "request_processor.cfm",
dataType: "json",
data: formval,
success: function(response){
$('#contentdiv').empty().fadeIn(1000).append(response.main_dish);
}
});
});
});
So, I'd have:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#contentdiv').html(' ');
$('#login-button').click(function(){
var formval = {email address, password:$(this).val()};
<--- (???)
$.ajax({
type:"post",
url:"request_processor.cfm",
dataType:"json",
data:formval
success:function(response){
$('#contentdiv').empty().fadeIn(1000).append(response.login_message);
}
});
});
});
What changes need to be made?
Thanks for any help!
