Question

Submit form from an offline webpage to server using jquery

Answer 1

+2 A:

I think that the traditional

<form method="post" action="http://yoursite.com/contact.php"&gt;

should work. Altough I never sent data to another domain like that before.

A regular form will work. The ajax thing won't because of the common origin policy.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. What I wasn't sure of is putting a full URL as the action attribute, I never did that before. Thanks for clearing it up!

Claudiu 2010-10-22 04:18:36

So there is no way to pass by ajax? Any workaround? To pass by get?

esafwan 2010-10-22 04:20:23

Get is still an ajax method. Why would you necessarilly need Ajax anyway? If you really want an alternative, I think you can open a pop-up with the params in the URL and make that self.close() after the request is sent...

Claudiu 2010-10-22 04:22:11

So how will that be? I know how to open a popup and I know how to submit a form. But how do you submit a form through popup?

Did u mean something like var value = $(.name).val(); var url="http://som.com?q=" + value;window.open (url,"mywindow");

esafwan 2010-10-22 04:30:05

When you open a popup, you can pass the URL of the window you want to open, right? So you can simply open a pop-up with the address http://example.com/contact.php?name=something you'd have $('.name').val(); (with quotes), that if you already assigned a class 'name' to the field containing the name. Then you can use $_GET in PHP to retrieve variables from the URL, for example.

+1 A:

How about this idea?

Have a Shortcut which will open the contact form hosted in your site in a web browser.Users can then submit their details via the online form.
