How do I save a page with $.ajax()

Question

How do I save items from an aspx page using $.AJAX() ?

Should I use a WebService Method and pass the data to the webMethod and process save.?

like

$.ajax({
   type:"POST",
   url:"Save.aspx/MySaveMethod",
   data:{????}



});

What does data: contain.

Is there a better way. I am using ASP.NET 2.0 and JQuery.

Normally you'd serialize the form data and send it, though you might only serialize part of it. This would take all of the named input elements from the form and make a query string out of them to pass back with the AJAX request.

$.ajax({
    type:"POST",
    url:"Save.aspx/MySaveMethod",
    data: $('form').serialize(),
    ...
});
