I have a question about passing form data.

Let’s say I have a form and a “submit” button. The button calls the doit function which does all of the sack setup and running. Per the documentation, it says that the recommended way of passing form data is to create a sack variable for each form variable. This is somewhat of a large task if the form is huge. How do I pass the entire form data through sack to the php script rather than creating and setting each variable in the “doit” function.

Thanks!

Good point, I’ve also got to change the toLowerCase assignment in SACK. I’ll make those changes and update to 1.6.2

I had problems getting SACK to work and I fought with it for hours. As it turns out, the problem was I was passing the form method (straight from the form.method property itself)… and it wasn’t being recognized because the form method was in lowercase.

To account for this I updated tw-sack.js to convert the method to uppercase everywhere the method is referenced.

CHANGE LOG
* On lines 132, 134, & 136 I
changed: this.method –> this.method.toUpperCase()

I am putting together a presentation for my office’s monthly “Tech Share” to demonstrate AJAX at my marketing/web development firm and your code will greatly simplify the source code used in this presentation!

Thanks!
