Hi guys ive got the following code

Code:

<html>                                                                  
 <head>                                                                  
    <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>          
	<script type="text/javascript">                                         
	 $(document).ready(function(){
		$("form").submit(function() {
		$.ajax({			
			type: "GET",
			url: "release.php",
			data: "name=Caspa&Rusko",
			dataType: "xml",
			success: function(xml) {
				$(xml).find('release-list').each(function() {
					$("span").text($(this).find("title").text()).show();
				});
			}
		});
		 });
	});
	</script>  
	                                    
 </head>                                                         
<body>
	<p>Type 'correct' to validate.</p> 
	  <form action="javascript:alert('success!');"> 
	    <div> 
	      <input type="text" id="title" /> 
	      <input type="submit" /> 
	    </div> 
	  </form> 
	  <span></span>
 </body>                                                                 
 </html>

Id like to perform the following script but without

Code:

	  <form action="javascript:alert('success!');">

So I thought id need to be everything in a function then call it with

Code:

	  <form action="javascript:functionName();">

Id also like to take the paramaters from <input type="text" id="title" /> and put the in data: "name=Caspa&Rusko", something like

Code:

data: "name= + name"

where would I set var name = $("search").val();

Finally if anyone could tell me where the AJAX magic goes so I can have a little loading spinner, that would amazing. Thanks
