If you're trying to POST
Make sure to JSON.stringify your form data and send as text/plain.
<form id="my-form" onSubmit="return postMyFormData();">
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Your Name" required>
<input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Your Email" required>
<input type="submit" value="Submit My Form">
</form>
function postMyFormData() {
var formData = $('#my-form').serializeArray();
formData = formData.reduce(function(obj, item) {
obj[item.name] = item.value;
return obj;
}, {});
formData = JSON.stringify(formData);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "https://website.com/path",
data: formData,
success: function() { ... },
dataType: "text",
contentType : "text/plain"
});
}
