jquery ajax and json are awesome

I used ajax before, but I never did it with jquery till I recently learned it. I have a function on my billing interface that pops up a box for the user to update some information. Well before I had write out the raw ajax script, checking for browsers etc, and then ajax would return a comma'd string that i would then split with javascript and then allocate that data somewhere. how naiive was I? Now i can just jquery to do the ajax and then return a JSON object with the data which is awesome! Its so much quicker and sooo much less code

you can get select/dropdown value using:

var value = $("#mySelect :selected").val();

I think you are potentially looking for the 'serialize' function inside of that jquery function in order to get the values you want, no? like,

var mydata = $('#myform').serialize();

serialize would be grabbing all your inputs within the form and putting them into one nice variable you can punch out quickly.

Your right. I discovered it last week lol. I'm making a video on it soon for my store.

Nice :) This video was actually still useful to me though, as I learned jQuery first from a book and skipped this whole step. It's good to look back and understand/appreciate.
