Can jQuery do a POST of a ViewModel to a Controller in ASP.NET MVC?

Question

I have my Html Textboxes created so that they will be bound to a custom view model when posting back to the server.

<%= Html.TextBox(\"CustomerFormViewMod         


        

Answer 1

It is possible, there is no difference between a "traditional POST" and "AJAX Post". For example:

$.ajax({ type: "POST",
    url: '<%= Url.Action("AddCustomer", "Customer") %>',
    data: $('form').serialize(),
    success: function(data, textStatus) {
    }
});

Answer 2

If I understand you right, I think it's pretty simple

var formData = $("#form").serialize();

$.post("path/to/action", formData, function(data) { //success } );
