How to send and recieve an ajax request with jQuery?
<p>I am new to jquery and am having trouble following the documentation. I have a variable in javascript (that I already obtained from an html form) that I would like to send using AJAX to the server.  I want to the server to do whatever it needs to do with that value and then reply with either "success" or "failure" (I know how to do the backend part).  How do I send the request and then recieve the reply with jQuery?</p>
