why does the data property in an jquery ajax call override my return false?
- by user315709
hi,
i have the following block of code:
$("#contact_container form, #contact_details form").live(
"submit",
function(event) {
$.ajax({
type: this.method,
url: this.action,
data: this.serialize(),
success: function(data) {
data = $(data).find("#content");
$("#contact_details").html(data);
},
});
return false;
}
;
when i leave out the data: this.serialize(), it behaves properly and displays the response within the #contact_details div. however, when i leave it in, it submits the form, causing the page to navigate away. why does the presence of the data attribute negates the return false? (probably due to a bug that i can't spot...)
also, is the syntax to my find statement correct? it comes back as "undefined" even though i use a debugger to check the ajax response and that id does exists.
thanks,
steve
