I have a web page with two forms on it. It originally used Prototype and I would like to convert it to jQuery.
The main form has text, checkboxes, radio buttons, etc. I want to watch the form and if any form element changes I want to serialize the entire form and post it to a URL, receive the result and show it in a DIV. Basically I will be using this form to return a "live" search result total so that the user can see how many results will be returned with certain search form choices. I have viewed many different tutorials both with and without plugins. I am posting here in hopes that the experts on this forum can point me in the right direction. Should I use plugins and if so which ones? Here are a couple of my requirements: 1. I need to be able to reference only the one form. There may be multiple forms on the page. 2. I need to watch all the elements for change which includes checkboxes and radiobuttons. 3. I would like the page to load as quickly as possible. 4. When i serialize the form to submit it for the live results, I need all the form elements to post correctly including the checkboxes. Thanks in advance.
