Ajax Posting with JQuery: An example?

The child component should have an ajax callback, then. It doesn't need to be in a form necessarily.

No problem. I'll just add that there's plenty of ways you can chain and link events, but you wanna make sure you serialize first so the data is there. I just happen to like the (latter) method. It works for me.
