Many times, we want to post our form using Ajax instead of Normal Post. So here is a script which is useful to achieve this. This is the changed version from the original Jquery website as this one POSTs the data to the server (We do have a GET version available at Jquery Website).
So, e.g. our Controller's action is something like this (this is C#):
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult SaveSettings(FormCollection collection)
{
string dValue = "=> " + collection[0] + "=> " + collection[1] + "=> " + collection[2] + "=> " + collection[3] + "=> " + collection[4] + "=> ";
fassconf.Models.JsonResponse rslt = new Models.JsonResponse() { isSuccessful = true, errorMessage = "", responseText=dValue+"Information is Saved Now.", Id = "success" };
return Json(rslt);
}
And our View is something like this (The form is using Razor. It is a normal form):
<form action="/Test/SaveSettings" class="AjaxSubmit" method="post"> <ul>
<li>Pclf<input type="text" name="pclf" id="pclf" /></li>
<li>RF<input type="text" name="RF" id="RF" /></li>
<li>IP<input type="text" name="IP" id="IP" /></li>
<li>CF<input type="text" name="CF" id="CF" /></li>
<li>RD<input type="RD" name="RD" id="RD" /></li>
<li><button id="btnFrmPost1" >Post</button></li>
</ul>
</form>
So here is our JavaScript which attaches Ajax Based Postback to our Form. The selection is done on the basis of class "
AjaxSubmit
". (We can do it using form Id also. But I'm using class selector here just in case you have multiple forms on your view and you might want to post all of them using AJAX. :)
<script src="/Scripts/jquery-1.6.4.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.8.11.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
$(document).ready(function ($) {
$("form.AjaxSubmit").submit(function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
var $form = $(this);
var url = $form.attr('action');
var data = $form.serialize()
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
url: url,
data: data,
success: function (resp) {
var jdata = eval(resp);
var $jAlrtSuccess = $('<div>' + jdata.responseText + '</div>');
$($jAlrtSuccess).dialog({modal:true});
},
error: function (xhr, status, error) {
var $jAlrtError = $('<div>' + xhr.responseText + '</div>');
$($jAlrtError).dialog({modal:true});
}
});
});
return false;
});
