javascript - Issue with form Submit - information to database and redirect to thank you page -

issue form submit - information need sent database , need redirect thank page

i trying redirect - thank page

instead redirected - "action"- url

with existing code, there no issue of sending information database. works fine, not redirecting me thank page.

html:

 <form name="mailinglist" method="post" id="formid" action="url" onsubmit="return validate_form(this);">  <input type="email" name="emailaddress" placeholder="email address" maxlength="100" size="28"> <br> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" width="260px"> </form>  var frmvalidator = new validator("mailinglist");  frmvalidator.addvalidation("email", "maxlen=50"); frmvalidator.addvalidation("email", "req"); frmvalidator.addvalidation("email", "email");  <script> jquery(function () { jquery('#subscribe').click(function () {     jquery.ajax({         type: 'post',         url: 'url',         data: 'emailaddress=' + jquery('input[name="emailaddress"]').val(),         success: function (data) {             if (jquery(data).find('.subscribe_valid').length) {                 location.href = 'thank page';             }         },         error: function () {             alert('error handling here');         }     });  }); });  </script> 

prerequisites

1. form , script needs live @ same origin ajax target - if not, no need read further - example can never test teabeyond jsfiddle.

2. jquery has loaded before script

3. validation has inside jquery load event handler

then need cancel form submission with

....submit(function(e) {    e.preventdefault(); 

here code attempting fix original question. expect serialised form rather context in ajax

note jsfiddle cannot ajax site jsfiddle code not work @ jsfiddle

fiddle

function validate_form(theform) {     if (theform.emailaddress.value=="") {         alert("please enter email");         return false;     }     return true; } $(function () {   $('#formid').submit(function (e) {     e.preventdefault(); // cancel form     if (validate_form(this)) {       // form's action must point page on same origin form       $.post(this.action, $(this).serialize(),         function () {           window.location.replace("https://www.othersite.com/articles.asp?id=252");        });     }   }); }); 

instead of $(this).serialize(), can have

{"emailaddress2",this.emailaddress2.value}
