If I have this form which submits the post data to the page itself:
<form method="post">
<input type="text" name="name"/>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
How will I be able to use JavaScript/jQuery to inject an additional POST data. This would be easier if I only submit the form via ajax using any of the functions like $.post(), $.get(), or $.ajax(). But what I want to do here is to submit the form not via ajax.
The additional data is in JavaScript. I'm thinking of just injecting a new hidden field into the DOM in which I will pass in the data so that it gets submitted with the form, but is there other way of doing it?
Please comment if you need more code/explanation.

Reset to default 13Rather than using a submit button, use a regular button and control the submission via Javascript. In your javascript, you need to serialize the form and pass it as data along with anything else you want.
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
var extra_data = "This is more stuff to send";
$('#submit').click(function() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "form.php",
data: {'form': $("#my_form").serialize(), 'other': extra_data},
success: function(msg) {
alert("Form Submitted: " + msg);
}
});
});
});
</script>
<form id="my_form" method="post">
<input type="text" name="name" />
<input type="button" id="submit" />
</form>
<head>
<script src="jquery/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function () {
$('#form_id').on('click','#submit', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "get_Ajax.php",
data: $('#form_id').serialize(),
success: function(data) {
alert(data);
}
});
return false;
});
});
</script>
</head>
<form method="post" id="form_id">
<input type="text" name="ime">
<input type="button" id="submit" name="submit" value="Send">
</form>
** get_ajax.php**
<?php
$ime = $_POST['ime'];
echo "Your name is $ime";
?>
