How to implement form submission with AJAX and jQuery?

To implement form submission with AJAX and jQuery, you can follow these steps:

  1. Include the jQuery library in your HTML file by adding the following script tag before your custom JavaScript code:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
  1. Create an HTML form that you want to submit using AJAX. For example:
<form id="myForm" action="submit.php" method="POST"> <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name"> <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email"> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form>
  1. Write the jQuery code to handle the form submission event and send the data using AJAX. The jQuery code should be placed within a script tag after including the jQuery library:
<script> $(document).ready(function() { $('#myForm').submit(function(event) { // Prevent the form from submitting normally event.preventDefault(); // Serialize form data into an object var formData = $(this).serialize(); // Send the form data using AJAX $.ajax({ url: $(this).attr('action'), type: $(this).attr('method'), data: formData, success: function(response) { // Handle the success response console.log(response); }, error: function(xhr, status, error) { // Handle the error response console.log(xhr.responseText); } }); }); }); </script>
  1. Update the action attribute of the <form> tag to specify the URL where the form data should be submitted. In the example code, the form data is submitted to submit.php.

  2. In your server-side code (e.g., submit.php), process the form data and send a response back to the AJAX request.
