jQuery AJAX from submit with variable url

I am trying to submit various forms on the same page via jQuery/AJAX, it is for an admin site where you edit users so the url/action for the form gets generated dynamically. e.g

/user/limit/update?userId=7

or

/user/address/update?id=2.

is there a way find the forms url/action, store it in a variable and pass it the the url in the ajax function?

hopefully the example will make it more obvious.

the generated form tag is

<form action="/user/update?id=3" method="post" accept-charset="UTF-8" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlen" id="idfff">

and updated ajax from the suggestion is

$("#user-submit").click(function() { 
    $.ajax({  
        type: "post",  
        url: $('#idfff').attr('action'),
        data:$('#user-update').serialize(),
        success: function() {
            $("<div class='update-success'>Details updated</div>").insertAfter("#user-submit");
          }
    });
    return false; 
});

Hopefully I have explained my problem correctly but please let me know if you require further info.

Thanks

Something like the following?

$("#yourForm").attr("action");

Use attr() function on the form element to get action attribute value. In your example it should be something like this: url: $('#limits').attr('action')
