An undefined error is when we declare a variable in the code but do not assign a value to it before printing the variable.
A variable that has not been assigned a value is of type undefined . A method or statement also returns undefined if the variable that is being evaluated does not have an assigned value. A function returns undefined if a value was not returned .
jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library. It makes things like HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers.
I'm not sure why you're seeing undefined, but I noticed you are not preventing the default submit action. so your page will still submit rather than executing JS.
You'll need to do a couple things:
So in code it would look something like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
//Cache DOM reference
var form = $("#contactus");
form.submit(function(event) {
//Prevent the form from regular (non-js) submission
event.preventDefault();
//Serialize your data, using jQuery to make it easer
var data = form.serialize();
//Submit via ajax
$.post(
form.attr('action'),
data,
function(response) {
//You should modify your PHP to return a success or error code, then
//handle appropriately here - eg if (response === 'success") {...
}
);
});
});
The reason you get an undefined value is because you post to a non-valid jQuery mobile page. So make sure the server returns a valid jquery mobile HTML page.
Create your jquery mobile form
Set the attribute action="/mobile.html" and method="post" (or get)
Then make sure the page mobile.html (or whatever you want to call it) returns a valid jQuery mobile HTML page.
If you don't know what a valid jquery mobile HTML page is, check the jquery mobile website.
