javascript - jQuery: ajaxSubmit / ajaxForm any significant difference? -

somehow ajaxsubmit , ajaxform kinda play same role. if so, then, there significant difference between them ? if so; use, when , why?

the faq reads:

what difference between ajaxform , ajaxsubmit?

there 2 main differences between these methods:

• ajaxsubmit submits form, ajaxform not. when invoke ajaxsubmit serializes form data , sends server. when invoke ajaxform adds necessary event listeners form can detect when form submitted user. when occurs ajaxsubmit called you.
• when using ajaxform submitted data include name , value of submitting element (or click coordinates if submitting element image).

so, ajaxsubmit submits form destination while ajaxform preps , waits form submitted.

your run ajaxsubmit in place of $("#formid").submit()
