If a function is provided it will be invoked upon successful * completion of the submit and will be passed the response from the server. * If an options Object is provided, the following attributes are supported: * * target: Identifies the element(s) in the page to be updated with the server response. * This value may be specified as a jQuery selection string, a jQuery object, * or a DOM element. * default value: null * * url: URL to which the form data will be submitted. * default value: value of form's 'action' attribute * * method: @deprecated use 'type' * type: The method in which the form data should be submitted, 'GET' or 'POST'. * default value: value of form's 'method' attribute (or 'GET' if none found) * * before: @deprecated use 'beforeSubmit' * beforeSubmit: Callback method to be invoked before the form is submitted. * default value: null * * after: @deprecated use 'success' * success: Callback method to be invoked after the form has been successfully submitted * and the response has been returned from the server * default value: null * * dataType: Expected dataType of the response. One of: null, 'xml', 'script', or 'json' * default value: null * * semantic: Boolean flag indicating whether data must be submitted in semantic order (slower). * default value: false * * resetForm: Boolean flag indicating whether the form should be reset if the submit is successful * * clearForm: Boolean flag indicating whether the form should be cleared if the submit is successful * * * The 'beforeSubmit' callback can be provided as a hook for running pre-submit logic or for * validating the form data. If the 'beforeSubmit' callback returns false then the form will * not be submitted. The 'beforeSubmit' callback is invoked with three arguments: the form data * in array format, the jQuery object, and the options object passed into ajaxSubmit. * The form data array takes the following form: * * [ { name: 'username', value: 'jresig' }, { name: 'password', value: 'secret' } ] * * If a 'success' callback method is provided it is invoked after the response has been returned * from the server. It is passed the responseText or responseXML value (depending on dataType). * See jQuery.ajax for further details. * * * The dataType option provides a means for specifying how the server response should be handled. * This maps directly to the jQuery.httpData method. The following values are supported: * * 'xml': if dataType == 'xml' the server response is treated as XML and the 'after' * callback method, if specified, will be passed the responseXML value * 'json': if dataType == 'json' the server response will be evaluted and passed to * the 'after' callback, if specified * 'script': if dataType == 'script' the server response is evaluated in the global context * * * Note that it does not make sense to use both the 'target' and 'dataType' options. If both * are provided the target will be ignored. * * The semantic argument can be used to force form serialization in semantic order. * This is normally true anyway, unless the form contains input elements of type='image'. * If your form must be submitted with name/value pairs in semantic order and your form * contains an input of type='image" then pass true for this arg, otherwise pass false * (or nothing) to avoid the overhead for this logic. * * * When used on its own, ajaxSubmit() is typically bound to a form's submit event like this: * * $("#form-id").submit(function() { * $(this).ajaxSubmit(options); * return false; // cancel conventional submit * }); * * When using ajaxForm(), however, this is done for you. * * @example * $('#myForm').ajaxSubmit(function(data) { * alert('Form submit succeeded! Server returned: ' + data); * }); * @desc Submit form and alert server response * * * @example * var options = { * target: '#myTargetDiv' * }; * $('#myForm').ajaxSubmit(options); * @desc Submit form and update page element with server response * * * @example * var options = { * success: function(responseText) { * alert(responseText); * } * }; * $('#myForm').ajaxSubmit(options); * @desc Submit form and alert the server response * * * @example * var options = { * beforeSubmit: function(formArray, jqForm) { * if (formArray.length == 0) { * alert('Please enter data.'); * return false; * } * } * }; * $('#myForm').ajaxSubmit(options); * @desc Pre-submit validation which aborts the submit operation if form data is empty * * * @example * var options = { * url: myJsonUrl.php, * dataType: 'json', * success: function(data) { * // 'data' is an object representing the the evaluated json data * } * }; * $('#myForm').ajaxSubmit(options); * @desc json data returned and evaluated * * * @example * var options = { * url: myXmlUrl.php, * dataType: 'xml', * success: function(responseXML) { * // responseXML is XML document object * var data = $('myElement', responseXML).text(); * } * }; * $('#myForm').ajaxSubmit(options); * @desc XML data returned from server * * * @example * var options = { * resetForm: true * }; * $('#myForm').ajaxSubmit(options); * @desc submit form and reset it if successful * * @example * $('#myForm).submit(function() { * $(this).ajaxSubmit(); * return false; * }); * @desc Bind form's submit event to use ajaxSubmit * * * @name ajaxSubmit * @type jQuery * @param options object literal containing options which control the form submission process * @cat Plugins/Form * @return jQuery * @see formToArray * @see ajaxForm * @see $.ajax * @author jQuery Community */ jQuery.fn.ajaxSubmit = function(options) { if (typeof options == 'function') options = { success: options }; options = jQuery.extend({ url: this.attr('action') || '', method: this.attr('method') || 'GET' }, options || {}); // remap deprecated options (temporarily) options.success = options.success || options.after; options.beforeSubmit = options.beforeSubmit || options.before; options.type = options.type || options.method; var a = this.formToArray(options.semantic); // give pre-submit callback an opportunity to abort the submit if (options.beforeSubmit && options.beforeSubmit(a, this, options) === false) return this; var q = jQuery.param(a); if (options.type.toUpperCase() == 'GET') { // if url already has a '?' then append args after '&' options.url += (options.url.indexOf('?') >= 0 ?

This method will include the submit element's name/value data (for the element that was * used to submit the form). * 3. This method binds the submit() method to the form for you. * * Note that for accurate x/y coordinates of image submit elements in all browsers * you need to also use the "dimensions" plugin (this method will auto-detect its presence). * * The options argument for ajaxForm works exactly as it does for ajaxSubmit. ajaxForm merely * passes the options argument along after properly binding events for submit elements and * the form itself.
