jQuery Ajaxify
Probably not the first person to implement this, but I wanted to make an automatic form AJAX-’ifier’ that could capture which submit button had caused the submit event to be fired too.
It’s implemented fairly simply:
$('form').ajaxify();
There’s a demo page or you can just download it and have a look.
Update: As pointed out by Andrea in the comments below, this would return the value of radio and checkboxes even if they weren’t selected. I have released 0.1a and updated the link above to fix this issue. Thanks Andrea!
Update 2: I have updated this plugin, view this post for more information.

Your little ajaxify form script works great.. just one thing, it sends the value of a checkbox even when the checkbox is not checked. I’ve made the following change in the serializeform function to fix this:
serializeForm: function(node) {
// initialize the string
r = ”;
// loop through all the elements (except submits)
$(node).find(‘input[type!=submit][type!=button][type!=image], textarea, select’).each(function(i, e) {
// and appent the name and value to the string
if( $(e).attr(‘type’) == ‘checkbox’ ) {
if( $(e).attr(‘checked’) ) {
r += escape($(e).attr(‘name’)) + ‘=’ + escape($(e).val()) + ‘&’;
}
}
else {
r += escape($(e).attr(‘name’)) + ‘=’ + escape($(e).val()) + ‘&’;
}
});
return r;
},
D’oh! Well spotted! Thanks very much for the comment, I’ll update the script as soon as possible!
