I am a beginner in rails and jQuery. I have two separate forms in one page and I want to submit them separately in ajax way (with jQuery). This is how far I got. Can anybody add or fix this code to make it work. I am using Rails 3.1 and jQuery 1.6. Thank you in advance.
application.js
$(".savebutton").click(function() {
$('form').submit(function() {
$(this).serialize();
});
});
first form:
<%=form_for :users do |f| %>
<fieldset>
<legend>Basic details</legend>
<%= f.label :school %>
<%= f.text_field :school,:size=>"45",:class=>"round",:id=>"school" %><br/>
</fieldset>
<p><%= button_to "save and continue",{:class=>"savebutton"} %></p>
<%end%>
second form:
<%=form_for :courses do |c| %>
<fieldset>
<legend>Your current classes</legend>
<label>class:</label><%= c.text_field :subject,:size=>"45",:class=>"round" %><br/>
</fieldset>
<p><%= button_to "save and continue",{:class=>"savebutton"} %></p>
<%end%>
SchoolController
class SchoolController < ApplicationController
respond_to :json
def create
@school = current_user.posts.build(params[:school].merge(:user => current_user))
if @school.save
respond_with @school
else
respond_with @school.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity
end
end
end
CourseController is in the same shape as SchoolController
You want to:
The code below should do that:
$('form').submit(function() {
var valuesToSubmit = $(this).serialize();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: $(this).attr('action'), //sumbits it to the given url of the form
data: valuesToSubmit,
dataType: "JSON" // you want a difference between normal and ajax-calls, and json is standard
}).success(function(json){
console.log("success", json);
});
return false; // prevents normal behaviour
});
