How Make AJAX REQUEST with clicking in the link not submit button

Question

How could I make an AJAX REQUEST by clicking on a link instead of a submit button? I want once the link is clicked to POST data from input fields

Answer 1

$('selector').click(function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  $.ajax({
       url: "",
       type: "POST",//type of posting the data
       data: ,
       success: function (data) {
         //what to do in success
       },
       error: function(xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError){
          //what to do in error
       },
       timeout : 15000//timeout of the ajax call
  });

});
