How to simply send a request parameter with jquery form submit?

form-submit, javascript, jquery

Solution

try this

function form_submit()
{
      //var myparam = "abc";

     // add hidden field to your form name="myparam" and value="abc"
      $('#receiptsForm').append('<input type="hidden" name="myparam " value="abc" />');
      $("#receiptsForm").submit(); 
}

Problem

I am able to submit a form as `Post` type using the following in my javascript: ``` $("#receiptsForm").submit(); ``` But I also want send across a parameter `myparam` as well with the request which I'll be retrieving in my spring controller using `httpServletRequest.getParameter("myparam")`: ``` var myparam = "abc"; $("#receiptsForm").submit(); ``` What's the best I can do?
