Can anyone explain how to run PHP code from within javaScript for submit?
Currently I submit the form to a page.php, connect to MySQL, run some queries then build up the HTML and echo it out.
However, I want to do this without going to the page.php as I am trying to show the results in an ajax dialog using JQuery-UI. It works, just I have to submit to page.php to make it happen.
Would I do something like build up the code in Javascript writelin statements and dynamically load a div or something?

I don't exactly understand Your problem. You can submit data from form using Jquery ajax and on response load it to div. You need to use load(). Give more details.Adam– Adam2010年12月20日 03:58:28 +00:00Commented Dec 20, 2010 at 3:58

Use jQuery's post() method to send the request to page.php from JavaScript asynchronously. You can use the success option to show the dialog http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.post/

I see. Makes sense. Would you be familiar with a way to pass parameters to jQuery.Post so I dont have to have many functions? I have multiples forms that can submit different values. also, Would you now a way to dynamically pass the form to be submitted to the post(). The docs are fairly excellent. I had no idea jQuery was so powerful. Definitely worth become very familiar with.

@Axl Actually, I just looked and I learned something new. Just use $('#formId').serialize() to get all form data into a string for posting. So the line to submit a form would be jQuery.post("page.php", $("#formId").serialize()); To make it dynamic, just change the selector "#formId" to the form you want to submit

I get it. Thanks for the replies and thanks for showing my jQuery was pretty damn awesome.
