How to simulate form's submission with jQuery?

Question

I've a form on my ASP.NET web page. There is submit button also. I've some validation logic attached to client-side click event of a button. I'd like to submit this form from my jQuery validation logic, how to achieve this?

Answer 1

With pure JS you can do:

this.form.submit();

Answer 2

fmsf's answer is good if you want to use code to do this but if the user clicks a submit button that has validation code attached to it it will submit as long as you don't suppress the event or return false.

So you can simply use a submit button instead of a regular one and get the same result

Answer 3

Assuming your form had an id of "myform" the following jquery would cause it to be submitted.

$("#myform").submit();

Answer 4

I am assuming that you want to use jQuery to submit a form back to ASP.NET.

There is a $.post(url, { param1: param1value, param2: param2value}, function(response){ // handle response }); syntax in jQuery which allows you to asynchronously submit a form to a code behind file.

The major conceptual change is that your page is not going to refresh and also your response should only contain what you want.
