JQuery中的AjaxForm和AjaxSubmit使用几乎相同功能也几乎相同。非常容易误解。
依照作者的解释：
AjaxForm
ajaxForm不能提交表单。在document的ready函数中，使用ajaxForm来为AJAX提交表单进行准备。提交动作必须由submit开始
ajaxSubmit
立即由AJAX来提交表单。你能够在不论什么情况下进行该项提交。

var options = {
target: '#output1', // target element(s) to be updated with server response
beforeSubmit: showRequest, // pre-submit callback
success: showResponse // post-submit callback
// other available options:
//url: url // override for form's 'action' attribute
//type: type // 'get' or 'post', override for form's 'method' attribute
//dataType: null // 'xml', 'script', or 'json' (expected server response type)
//clearForm: true // clear all form fields after successful submit
//resetForm: true // reset the form after successful submit
// $.ajax options can be used here too, for example:
//timeout: 3000 };

ajaxForm
The following code controls the HTML form beneath it. It uses ajaxForm to bind the form and demonstrates how to use pre- and post-submit callbacks
复制代码
复制代码
// prepare the form when the DOM is ready
$(document).ready(function() {
var options = {
target: '#output1', // target element(s) to be updated with server response
beforeSubmit: showRequest, // pre-submit callback
success: showResponse // post-submit callback
// other available options:
//url: url // override for form's 'action' attribute
//type: type // 'get' or 'post', override for form's 'method' attribute
//dataType: null // 'xml', 'script', or 'json' (expected server response type)
//clearForm: true // clear all form fields after successful submit
//resetForm: true // reset the form after successful submit
// $.ajax options can be used here too, for example:
//timeout: 3000
};
// bind form using 'ajaxForm'
$('#myForm1').ajaxForm(options); });
// pre-submit callback
function showRequest(formData, jqForm, options) {
// formData is an array; here we use $.param to convert it to a string to display it
// but the form plugin does this for you automatically when it submits the data
var queryString = $.param(formData);
// jqForm is a jQuery object encapsulating the form element. To access the
// DOM element for the form do this:
// var formElement = jqForm[0];
alert('About to submit: \n\n' + queryString);
// here we could return false to prevent the form from being submitted;
// returning anything other than false will allow the form submit to continue
return true; }
// post-submit callback
function showResponse(responseText, statusText) {
// for normal html responses, the first argument to the success callback
// is the XMLHttpRequest object's responseText property
// if the ajaxForm method was passed an Options Object with the dataType
// property set to 'xml' then the first argument to the success callback
// is the XMLHttpRequest object's responseXML property
// if the ajaxForm method was passed an Options Object with the dataType
// property set to 'json' then the first argument to the success callback
// is the json data object returned by the server
alert('status: ' + statusText + '\n\nresponseText: \n' + responseText +
'\n\nThe output div should have already been updated with the responseText.'); }

ajaxSubmit
The following code controls the HTML form beneath it. It uses ajaxSubmit to submit the form.
复制代码
复制代码
// prepare the form when the DOM is ready
$(document).ready(function() {
var options = {
target: '#output2', // target element(s) to be updated with server response
beforeSubmit: showRequest, // pre-submit callback
success: showResponse // post-submit callback
// other available options:
//url: url // override for form's 'action' attribute
//type: type // 'get' or 'post', override for form's 'method' attribute
//dataType: null // 'xml', 'script', or 'json' (expected server response type)
//clearForm: true // clear all form fields after successful submit
//resetForm: true // reset the form after successful submit
// $.ajax options can be used here too, for example:
//timeout: 3000
};
// bind to the form's submit event
$('#myForm2').submit(function() {
// inside event callbacks 'this' is the DOM element so we first
// wrap it in a jQuery object and then invoke ajaxSubmit
$(this).ajaxSubmit(options);
// !!! Important !!!
// always return false to prevent standard browser submit and page navigation
return false;
}); });
// pre-submit callback
function showRequest(formData, jqForm, options) {
// formData is an array; here we use $.param to convert it to a string to display it
// but the form plugin does this for you automatically when it submits the data
var queryString = $.param(formData);
// jqForm is a jQuery object encapsulating the form element. To access the
// DOM element for the form do this:
// var formElement = jqForm[0];
alert('About to submit: \n\n' + queryString);
// here we could return false to prevent the form from being submitted;
// returning anything other than false will allow the form submit to continue
return true; }
// post-submit callback
function showResponse(responseText, statusText) {
// for normal html responses, the first argument to the success callback
// is the XMLHttpRequest object's responseText property
// if the ajaxSubmit method was passed an Options Object with the dataType
// property set to 'xml' then the first argument to the success callback

alert('status: ' + statusText + '\n\nresponseText: \n' + responseText +
'\n\nThe output div should have already been updated with the responseText.'); }
