$('#myCoolForm').submit(function(e){
  e.preventDefault(); // ensures we don't actually submit the form like normal
  var url = $(this).attr('action'); // grabs the html form action attribute, eg our post url
  var data = $(this).serialize(); // this will take all the form elements and serialize them into a querystring to be posted
  $.post( url, data, function(data, textStatus){ 
    // do something cool here
    console.log(data); 
  });
