Submit Button Values not Passing

[graingerkid]

Hey,

Great library!

When I've added this to a form, it works fine, however, I'm passing values on my submit buttons to add further options to the submission, however, these do not get passed along with the form.

Is this by design or a bug? Any way to submit them?

Thanks,
Craig

Do your buttons have name attributes?

Yea - if I remove the ajax class it works fine, also.

                  <button class="button is-primary is-outlined next" name="button_action" type="submit" value="tweet">
                    <span class="icon">
                      <i class="fa fa-twitter"></i>
                    </span>
                    <span>Tweet</span>
                  </button>
                  <button class="button is-info is-outlined next" name="button_action" type="submit" value="save">
                    <span class="icon">
                      <i class="fa fa-save"></i>
                    </span>
                    <span>Save</span>
                  </button>

I've tried it as <input ...> fields, too.

Hm...

I just use FormData or jquery’s serialize to capture all the values. I’ll need to read about/dig into those APIs and figure out what’s happening.

ok, thanks for your help

It doesn't make sense for either FormData or $.fn.serialize to include that information because those methods can be called at any point in time inside or outside of a click event. that key/value pair has to be added manually.

@tentonaxe thanks for that link. i was just coming back here to post something similar.

I wonder if #81 would allow you to then set hidden inputs.
