Submit a form without using submit button in CodeIgniter

Question

I'm just new to CodeIgniter framework and all the lessons have been jumbled on my mind now. I just want to ask, how to submit a form without using a form submit button in codeigniter. I did saw an example of javascript but I want to see it in codeigniter framework. Can anybody give me a simple mvc sample? Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

you can use AJAX as well

<script>
    $(function(){
        $( "#submit" ).click(function(event)
        {
            event.preventDefault();
            var name= $("#name").val();
            var phone= $("#phone").val();
            var address= $("#address").val();

            $.ajax(
                {
                    type:"post",
                    url: "<?php echo base_url(); ?>index.php/Controller_name/Method name",
                    data:{ name:name, phone:phone,address:address,},
                    success:function(data)
                    {

                    }
                    error:function(data)
                    {

                    }
                });
        });
    });
</script>

So in Form should be

<form action="#" method="post">

    <input type="text" id="name" name="name">
    <input type="text" id="phone" name="phone">
    <input type="text" id="address" name="address">

    <input type="submit" value="Submit Form" id="submit">
</form>
