jQuery ajaxSubmit(), how to send the form in a json format?

[DaNieL..!]

Hi guys, i just leanerd the existence of the ajaxSubmit jQuery plugin,
im wondering if there is a way to use the JSON both to send and
retrieve the requests.

I mean, no the plugin have the option 'dataType', that is used to
specify the format that the server will send back, but i need to send
the form as jquery to the server.

For example, if my form looks like:

<form name="mytest" action="mypage.php" method="get">
<input type="text" name="firstone" id="firstone" value="here some
text!" />
<input type="text" name="secondone" id="secondone" value="text in here
too" />
</form>

i'll love that the plugin will send a request like:

mypage.php?mytest=[{'firstone':'here some text!','secondone':'text in
here too'}]


Is it possible?

Hi, I'm not a 100% sure if that's want you want, but take a look at
(especially the examples):

http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/jQuery.getJSON

Cheers

Don't know, but I'm curious, what's the motive behind this choice? If
you pass a json object you have to convert in an array with json_decode
to have an array similar to $_POST, right?

I'm curious what's the reason for that also.

However, if you really need to put into JSON to send over to the
server, you can first use serializeArray()
http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/serializeArray
to convert all the form data into JSON (object format), and then use
this official JSON script:
http://www.json.org/json2.js
Use the stringify function to convert the JSON into a literal String,
which you can send over to the server.
