Get all Select Elements in a Form by referencing $(this) instead of $("form select")
- by DaveDev
Hi Guys
I'm currently getting all the Select elements that exist in a form with the following:
$("form").submit(function(event)
{
// gather data
var data = GetSelectData($("form select"));
// do submit
$.post($(this).attr("action"), data, ..etc)
});
Instead of passing in $("form select"), is there a way I can say something like
$(this).children('select') // this doesn't work, btw
to get all the select elements that exist within the context of the form the submit event is executing for?
This will allow me to reduce my code to the following, moving all the functionality into a common function:
$("form").submit(function(event)
{
GatherDataAndSubmit($(this));
});
function GatherDataAndSubmit(obj)
{
var data = GetSelectData(obj.children('select'));
$.post(obj.attr("action"), data, ..etc)
}
Thanks
Dave
