any other way ? i tied to do like this

})

but did not work

Answer 1

Use .serialize() (was added in jQuery 1.0)

The .serialize() method creates a text string in standard URL-encoded notation. It operates on a jQuery object representing a set of form elements.

E.g.

var data = $('#formid').serialize()

Answer 2

Take a look at jQuery.serialize().

It looks like what you're trying to accomplish is similar to:

$.ajax({
  type: 'POST',
  url: 'all_include_files/update_save.php',
  data: $("form").serialize(),
  success: function(result){ alert(result); }
});
