php - jQuery POST form data

Question

When I click submit I'd like all form data to be POSTed to process.php. Then on process.php I want to echo out the POST data and finally replace everything in results div to what was done in process.php.

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $("#myform").submit( function () {    
            $.ajax({   
                type: "POST",
                dataType: "html", 
                cache: false,  
                url: "process.php",   
                success: function(data){
                    $("#results").html(data);                       
                }   
            });   
            return false;   
        });

        //$("#myform").submit( function () {
            //$('#results').html("yay");                    
        //}  
            // });  
        //} );          
    });
</script>

<form name="myform" id="myform" action="" method="POST">  
<!-- The Name form field -->
    <label for="name" id="name_label">zoom</label>  
    <input type="text" name="zoom" id="zoom" size="30" value=""/>  
    <br>
</select>


<!-- The Submit button -->
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"> 
</form>

<!-- FORM END ----------------------------------------  -->


<!-- RESULTS START ---------------------------------------- -->
    <div id="results">nooooooo<?PHP $_SESSION[''] ?><div>
    <!-- <input type="image" name="mapcoords" border="0" src="mapgen.php"> ---- -->
<!-- RESULTS END ---------------------------------------- -->

You can call $.post passing form data serialized. like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function(){
            $("#myform").submit( function () {    
              $.post(
               'process.php',
                $(this).serialize(),
                function(data){
                  $("#results").html(data)
                }
              );
              return false;   
            });   
        });
</script>
