jQuery submit form without reloading page

Question

I\'m not very familiar with jQuery. I\'m trying to make a form that is submitted in the background without reloading page.

I have a hidden div which shows and hides

Answer 1

1) Use event.preventDefault(); to keep the form from submitting -http://api.jquery.com/event.preventDefault/

2) There isn't anything in the given script that should be causing #result to hide, but you can try $('#result').show() and see if that brings it back
