I am firing the following event when a button is clicked...
onclick="new Ajax.Updater(''div123'',
''/gotit.php'',{asynchronous:true,
evalScripts:true }); return false;"
It all works fine, but I now need to add in some form fields when the
button is clicked. There are two form fields, ''email'' and
''zipcode''
which i want to submit to /gotit.php when the button is clicked.... I
can''t figure out how to do it though...
Do I want to change it to this:
onclick="new Ajax.Updater(''div123'',
''/gotit.php''+ value, { ... },
{asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true }); return false;"
Thanks for any help....

A. Based on the use case you describe, it seems you may actually want
the "onsubmit" event rather than "onclick" (Make sure your
button is
of type submit)
B. If the form fields you''re wishing to add are the only other inputs
in the form, you can collect them with
Form.serialize(''idOfForm'',
true); [1] Otherwise, do something like {email:
$(''email'').value,
zipcode: $(''zipcode).value}
C. Pass the form fields to the ''parameters'' option. [2] [3]
e.x.:
new Ajax.Updater(''div123'', ''/gotit.php'', {
method: ''get'', //default is ''post''; use
whichever is most
appropriate to your situation
parameters: Form.serialize(''idOfForm'', true),
asynchronous:true, // Default behavior. Not needed.
evalScripts:true
});

3. A side comment here to those responsible for documentation: The
example Ajax.Request (at http://www.prototypejs.org/api/ajax/
request ) doesn''t use "parameters" but builds its request
string
manually. Perhaps a different/additional example would be useful.

Totally works thanks. One last question, when I do it onsubmit, is there some way to actually then prevent the form from being submitted? My goal is to avoid the page refresh... thanks! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

Hey Scott, I confess I haven''t followed your thread so far, but on your current question: Scott Phillips a écrit :> Totally works thanks. One last question, when I do it onsubmit, is > there some way to actually then prevent the form from being submitted? > My goal is to avoid the page refresh... thanks!If you bind the submit event for your form, your listener function gets passed the event object. Just call Event.stop on it! Example: -- HTML <form id="frmMain"...> ... </form> -- JS function handleForm(e) { // Your processing, then (or before it): Event.stop(e); } // At DOM/page load time: $(''frmMain'').observe(''submit'', handleForm); ''HTH -- Christophe Porteneuve a.k.a.

I use Return false; in the function. ______________________________________________________________________ Alex Duffield ❖ Principal ❖ InControl Solutions . http:// www.incontrolsolutions.com On 7-Jul-07, at 11:54 AM, Scott Phillips wrote:> > Totally works thanks.
