This is what i am doing currently to set a form’s action through jQuery.
$(’#form’).attr(‚action‘,‚[http://testing.com/checkout/payment](http://testing.com/checkout/payment)‘);
but is there a way to do it using controllers and actions like:
url controller=checkout action=payment
without writing whole orl in jQuery?

Hi,
It depends how the jQuery is created. If it´s a seperated file that´s simply included in the template, then you won´t be able to use smarty functions. If it´s an inline script then you can use the url smarty function.
Best,
Michael

This will resolve your problems - passing the parameter via data attribute:
