I want to correctly set up the data parameter for the ajax call.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#call').click(function ()
{
$.ajax({
type: "post",
url: "books", //this is my servlet
data: <<< my data here >>>
});
});
});
</script>
This snippet is from my jsp:
<form action="books" method="post">
<table width="70%" border="1">
<%
List<Book> books = (List<Book>) request.getAttribute("books");
for (int i = 0; i < books.size(); i++) {
%>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="book<%=i%>"
value="<%= books.get(i).getBook_id()%>"> <%= books.get(i).getName() %>
</td>
</tr>
<%
}
%>
</table>
<select name="user_name">
<%
List<User> users = (List<User>) request.getAttribute("users");
for (int i = 0; i < users.size(); i++) {
%>
<option value="<%=users.get(i).getName()%>"><%=users.get(i).getName()%></option>
<%
}
%>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Purchase">
<input type="button" value="Call Servlet" name="Call Servlet" id="call"/>
</form>
I aim to transfer all the data that usually goes through the form above.
Can you guide me on how to use the ajax technology in this scenario?
