How to send multiple data fields via Ajax?

146

I'm stuck: I'm trying to submit a form using AJAX, but I can't find a way to send multiple data fields via my AJAX call.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#btnSubmit").click(function()  {
    var status = $("#activitymessage").val();
    var name = "Ronny";
    $.ajax({
      type: "POST",
      url: "ajax/activity_save.php",
      **data: "status="+status+"name="+name"**,
      success: function(msg) {...

I've tried all sorts of stuff:

data: {status: status, name: name},

Or even stuff like this just for testing purposes:

data: "status=testing&name=ronny",

But whatever I try, I get nothing in my activity_save.php thus nothing in my SQL.

So, what's the correct syntax to put more lines of data in my AJAX call?

jquery sql ajax

I am new to AJAX and I have tried this and it works well.

function q1mrks(country,m) {
  // alert("hellow");
  if (country.length==0) {
    //alert("hellow");
    document.getElementById("q1mrks").innerHTML="";
    return;
  }
  if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
    // code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
    xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  } else {
    // code for IE6, IE5
    xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
  xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() {
    if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200) {
      document.getElementById("q1mrks").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
    }
  }
  xmlhttp.open("GET","../location/cal_marks.php?q1mrks="+country+"&marks="+m,true);
  //mygetrequest.open("GET", "basicform.php?name="+namevalue+"&age="+agevalue, true)
  xmlhttp.send();
}
