You need to make an attempt in solving the problem before coming here to ask for help. AJAX is indeed the right way; what have you tried whilst trying to implement AJAX so far? There are a number of tutorials out there to help... — Mathew, Jan 14 '14 at 13:59

Check the below example:

check this link: http://susheel61.0fees.net/ajaxtest.php

NOTE: This is basic a example for ajax. You cant do it many other ways like using $.post, $.get etc. but $.ajax has many options like showing a loading image before the content loads.

html:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>ajax example</title>
        <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="message"></div>
        <form id="myform" action="test.php">
            <input type="text" name="test"/>
            <input type="submit" value="submit"/>
        </form>
        <div id="response"></div>

        <script>
            $(function() {
                $("#myform").on("submit", function(e) {
                    e.preventDefault();
                    $.ajax({
                        url: $(this).attr("action"),
                        type: 'POST',
                        data: $(this).serialize(),
                        beforeSend: function() {
                            $("#message").html("sending...");
                        },
                        success: function(data) {
                            $("#message").hide();
                            $("#response").html(data);
                        }
                    });
                });
            });
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

Where do i place it in the form tag or outside? – user3182036 Jan 14 '14 at 14:00
Do i have to place the above code you gave in my form or outside my form – user3182036 Jan 14 '14 at 14:14
I updated the answer please check. you keep the javascript in head also. but best practice is to put it at the end – Susheel Singh Jan 14 '14 at 14:18
I tried the above code but it's not working i'm being redirected to the action page – user3182036 Jan 14 '14 at 14:19
just copy and paste the above code and change the form code for yourself. it should work fine. you are doing some mistake and you must know debugging.. – Susheel Singh Jan 14 '14 at 14:39
http://susheel61.0fees.net/ajaxtest.php check this link it works. just enter something and it shows it – Susheel Singh Jan 14 '14 at 14:44

If nothing works, you could redirect to a hidden iframe.

<iframe id="iframe" name="my_iframe"></iframe>
<form class="form" id="userform" target="my_iframe">

try this:

$('form').submit(function(event){
var serialObject = $(this).serialize();
//ex for post request
   $.post('path_to file',{
     parameters:serialObject
   },function(data){
         // do something after submitting
     });
   });

event.preventDefault()

In the php, you can redirect to back to the form by using headers:

header('Location: yourwebsite.com');

Hopefully this works for you
