Posting additional data alongside serialized form data

Question

I want to post some additional data alongside serialized data i got from user form input.

For instance,

$.post(\'update.php\', $(\"#theform\").serial         


        

Answer 1

you can do:

var data = $('#theform').serializeArray();
data.push({cposition: swidget});
//then
$.post('update.php', data, function(data) {

});

Answer 2

The jQuery serialize function yields its values in the &key=value format. It does this using $.param internally. You would be able to append your own values in the same manner:

$.post('update.php', [$('#theform').serialize(), $.param({cposition:swidget})].join('&'), function(data) { ... });

Answer 3

You can append something to the end of serialized string.

$.post('update.php', $("#theform").serialize() + '&cposition:swidget', function(data) {

});
