Send form with jQuery using keypress()
- by kexxcream
What I have so far:
I have a form in PHP that contain the following:
<input type="submit" id="0" name="0" value="This button">
<input type="submit" id="1" name="1" value="This button">
<input type="hidden" id="response" name="response" value="150">
The problem:
I would like to send the response value together with either name=1 or name=0, depending on which button the user submit. However, this should be done using the keyboard letters A and S. If a user press the letter A then the value 0 should be submitted, and if S is pressed then the value 1 should be sent.
The jQuery code:
$(document).ready(function()
{
// listens for any navigation keypress activity
$(document).keypress(function(e)
{
switch(e.which)
{
// user presses the "a"
case 97: submitViaKeypress("0");
break;
// user presses the "s" key
case 115: submitViaKeypress("1");
break;
}
});
});
// shows a given element and hides all others
function submitViaKeypress(element_id)
{
var response = $('#response').attr('value');
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "initiate.php",
data: "response=" + response + "&" + element_id + "=" + element_id
});
}
Goal:
That "initiate.php receive two POST variables (response and either 0 or 1).
