<form method='POST' action='' enctype='multipart/form-data' id="form_search">
<input type='hidden' name="action" id="form_1" value='1' />
</span><input id="query" type="text" name="mol" value="">
<input type='submit' value='Search' name="Search" id="Search" />
on form submission form input data goes to php below code
if (isset($_POST['Search'])) {
$_SESSION["query"] = $_POST["mol"];
$_SESSION["action"] = $_POST["action"];
}
i want to avoid page refresh on form submission. i tried e.preventDefault() and return false; methods in my java script but not working(this methods helping me from page refresh but does not allowing me to send data to php code)
please help me out of this problem, please suggest working ajax code for this problem.

And send your form info to PHP side through AJAX – user3154370 Commented Dec 25, 2014 at 15:01

Hi @sugit, Exactly I don't know what you mean. But as I understand you can gathers inputs and send them as JSON data, or serialize your form data and send them again as a JSON to your PHP file and access it with
$_POSTor$_GET– user3154370 Commented Jan 13, 2015 at 16:18

Reset to default 5Page refresh will delete you previous data so to reserve it you can use $.post() or $.ajax()
You can prevent page refreshing by adding one of these two things in event handler function
for pure js
return false;
for jquery you can use
e.preventDefault(); // e is passed to handler
Your plete code will be something like
using $.post() in js
function checkfunction(obj){
$.post("your_url.php",$(obj).serialize(),function(data){
alert("success");
});
return false;
}
html
<input type='submit' onclick="return checkfunction(this)" />
or same effect with onsubmit
<form onsubmit="return checkfunction(this)" method="post">
Without ajax you can simply add the checked attribute in PHP. So for example if your radio group has the name radio and one has value a, the other b:
<?php
$a_checked = $_POST['radio'] === 'a';
$b_checked = $_POST['radio'] === 'b';
?>
<input type="radio" name="radio" value="a"<?=($a_checked ? ' checked' : '')?>></input>
<input type="radio" name="radio" value="b"<?=($b_checked ? ' checked' : '')?>></input>
So when a user submits the form and you display it again, it will be like the user submitted it even the page refreshes.
<input type="radio" name="rbutton" id="r1">R1
<input type="radio" name="rbutton" id="r2">R2
<input type="button" id="go" value="SUBMIT" />
<div id="result"></div>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#go').click(function(){
var val1 = $('input:radio[name=rbutton]:checked').val();
var datastring = "partialName="+val1;
$.ajax({
url: "search.php",
type: "POST",
data: datastring,
success: function(data)
{
$("#result").html(data);
}
});
});
});
</script>
