There's no need for that. The code you already have is actually better.

ok just looking over a tutorial and this code do i need to do changes to the function alertContents(h ttpRequest) or is that fine as well?Comment
-
Well, you would need to make changes to that unless you only wish to alert the response.
What exactly are you attempting to do by submitting the form? Do you want to give some notification when it's complete?Comment
-
no, it's fine. but if you only have an update query, you won't have a responsetext so it will be unnecessary.
[EDIT] unless you have a echo something in php like acoder said.
if you still want to alert something or hide a loader when the update is done, you can use that instead.Comment

what it is.....its a paypal form but i want to save the form details into a database before it goes to paypal then once the paypal purchase is complete the user would be redirected to a page to confirm their email address so a confimation email is sent to them with a username and password....i'v e had to go about it this way because paypal do not allow fo extra confirmation emails and refuse to add that option on any account, at 1st i tried to use curl but paypal doesn't allow that....so the only way was with javascript/ajax so it does it all on the same page then the user can just click submit and it will go straight to paypalComment

What information do you want to save in the database? Post the form HTML code.Comment

-
and which of these fields do you want to store in the database?Comment
-
all fields except the hidden fields need to be stored as its to build a customer databaseComment
-
For the fields, either add an ID so you can use document.getEle mentById() to access them or use:
To make a POST request (use the send() method), construct the field-value parameters, e.g.Code:document.getElementById("form").elements[name-of-field].value
Code:var urlparams = "first_name=" + encodeURIComponent(document.getElementById("first_name").value); urlparams += "&last_name=" + encodeURIComponent(document.getElementById("first_name").value); // and so on...Comment
-
That was with a GET request. Are you using GET or POST in PHP?Comment
-
ok i understand on how to select the fields i need but i don't understand where to put that in the codeComment
-
paypal uses post...can't use get unfortunatelyComment
-
It doesn't matter if Paypal uses Post. I'm asking about your PHP code.
Let's assume POST. Then keep the URL free of parameters and send the parameters via the send method:
Code:httpRequest.send(urlparams);
