How can I get all a form's values that would be submitted without submitting [duplicate]
If your form tag is like
<form action="" method="post" id="BookPackageForm">
Then fetch the form element by using forms object.
var formEl = document.forms.BookPackageForm;
Get the data from the form by using FormData objects.
var formData = new FormData(formEl);
Get the value of the fields by the form data object.
var name = formData.get('name');
In straight Javascript you could do something similar to the following:
var kvpairs = [];
var form = // get the form somehow
for ( var i = 0; i < form.elements.length; i++ ) {
var e = form.elements[i];
kvpairs.push(encodeURIComponent(e.name) + "=" + encodeURIComponent(e.value));
}
var queryString = kvpairs.join("&");
In short, this creates a list of key-value pairs (name=value) which is then joined together using "&" as a delimiter.
The jquery form plugin offers an easy way to iterate over your form elements and put them in a query string. It might also be useful for whatever else you need to do with these values.
var queryString = $('#myFormId').formSerialize();

Or using straight jquery:
var queryString = $('#myFormId').serialize();
