Example of a jQuery form submission

gistfile1.js

$('form').on('submit', function(e){

	// Keeps the form from refreshing the page
	e.preventDefault();

	// Cached reference to the form (the less lookups the better)
	var self = $(this);

	// Combs through the form and converts all the inputs into serialized versions to be
	// interpreted by wherever you are sending the data
	// https://api.jquery.com/serialize/

	var collectedData = self.serialize();

	// Ship your form data back to the same page via a POST request
	// You can change the destination to whatever you want, e.g. '/schedule/save' instead of window.location.href
	// https://api.jquery.com/jQuery.post/

	var request = $.post( window.location.href, collectedData );

	request.done(function(){

		// Server said everything was okay! Show a success message or something.
		self.find('.success').show();

	});

	request.fail(function(){

		// Server sent back a 4xx or 5xx error code, meaning something broke or was wrong. Boooo.
		self.find('.error').show();

	});

});
