You can use jQuery to acquire the information from the form fields you need, but without seeing your code (both HTML and jQuery) we can't really give you more information. — Geoff Atkins, May 28 '15 at 08:20
Yes it is entirely possible, however to be of any valuable help we need to see your current HTML and JS code, and to know exactly what result you're trying to achieve. — Rory McCrossan, May 28 '15 at 08:21
