ajax执行endocoURI,javascript - Why use a form tag when you're submitting via ajax? - Stack Overflow...

Summary:

forms OK for MVC, simple web apps, bad for component oriented, rich web apps.

Reason:

forms cannot nest other forms: big limitation for a component-oriented architecture.

Details:

For typical MVC applications, forms are great. In rich, complex web applications using a lot of javascript and AJAX and with a lot of components here and there, I don't like forms. Reason: forms cannot nest another forms. Then if each component renders a form, components cannot nest each other. Too bad. By changing all forms to divs, I can nest them, and whenever I want to grab all parameters in order to pass them to ajax, I just do (with jQuery):

$("#id_of_my_div").find("[name]").serialize();

(or some other filtering)

instead of:

$("#id_of_my_form").serialize();

Though, for sentimental and semantic reasons, I keep naming my divs something_form when they are acting as forms.
