Handling multiple forms with ajax

Question

I'm trying to handle multiple forms with ajax. Suppose I have #formA, and #formB. And in the submitForm() function, I have the following:

function submitForm() {
  var currentForm = $(this);
  if (currentForm == "#formA") {
   //do this
  }
  else if (currentForm == "#formB"){
   //do that
  } 
}

However this approach is not working. What is the best way to deal with this? Thanks in advance.

Try modifying your code:

function submitForm() {
  var currentForm = $(this);
  if (currentForm.attr("id") == "formA") {
   //do this
  }
  else if (currentForm.attr("id") == "formB") {
   //do that
  } 
}

the code which you have written will not work, because you are trying to compare a jquery object with a string.

you have to use attr method of jquery to fetch the id of form and then compare it...something like this-

function submitForm() {
  var currentForm = $(this);
  if (currentForm.attr("id") == "formA") {
   //do this
  }
  else if (currentForm.attr("id") == "formB") {
   //do that
  } 
}
