// Submit the form using AJAX.
	$.ajax({
	  type: 'GET',
	  url: 'https://api.namsor.com/onomastics/api/json/gender/John/Smith',
	  //contentType: 'text/json',
	  xhrFields: {
		// The 'xhrFields' property sets additional fields on the XMLHttpRequest.
		// This can be used to set the 'withCredentials' property.
		// Set the value to 'true' if you'd like to pass cookies to the server.
		// If this is enabled, your server must respond with the header
		// 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true'.
		withCredentials: false
	  },
	  headers: {
		// Set any custom headers here.
		// If you set any non-simple headers, your server must include these
		// headers in the 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' response header.
	  },
	  success: function() {
		// Here's where you handle a successful response.
	  },
	  error: function() {
		// Here's where you handle an error response.
		// Note that if the error was due to a CORS issue,
		// this function will still fire, but there won't be any additional
		// information about the error.
	  }
	});
  
  // returns {"scale":-1.0,"gender":"male","firstName":"John","lastName":"Smith","id":"1527163531916"}
