How do I submit a form in jQuery async?

Question

In mootools I would do something like $('form_id').send({success:function(res){....}}); What is the parallel syntax in jQuery?

Another words:
How would I put my form data (assume id='bob') into the following code

$.ajax({
  type: 'POST',
  url: url,
  data: data,
  success: success,
  dataType: dataType
});

Answer 1

This should do it:

$.ajax({   
   type: 'POST',   
   url: url,   
   data: $('#bob').serialize(),
   success: success,
   dataType: dataType 
}); 

Answer 2

Wouldn't you know... It's right there in the documentation! :P

http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

Edit: okay okay...

$('#too_cool_form').submit(function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  //do some verification
  $.ajax({
    url: '',
    data: $(this).serialize(),
    success: function(data)
    {
      //callback methods go right here
    }
  });
});
