[jQuery] How do I do a Ajax request before form submits
Hi,
I created a form which I wanted to submit using jQuery (I'm new to jq)
but before the submit I wanted to run an ajax request and attach the
returned result to the form for posting. However it seems the form
submits before the ajax request is returned, I can see the code
generated in the DB but it never gets attached to the form.
If I set the return false; and hit submit the ajax process runs and is
attached to the forms hidden field correctly but obviously the form
does not get submitted, any thoughts for a 'green skin' on this
matter?
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("form#RegForm").submit(function()
{
$.get("servertime.php",function(response)
{
response=response.split("\n");
$("#serialnumber").val(response[0]);
$("#passcode").val(response[1]);
});
return true;
});
});
</script>
Cheers
Jim
