post html associative array using jquery

I have a form with array of input elements as shown below.

<form method="post" action="sample.php">
<input type="text" name="field[txt][name]" />
<input type="text" name="field[txt][sex]" />
<input type="text" name="field[txt][location]" />
<br /><br />
<input type="text" name="field[num][age]" />
<input type="text" name="field[date][pod]" />
<input type="text" name="field[date][doj]" />
<br /><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>

php - print_r($_POST['field']) gives me an output similar to the following when i submit the form as usual. How can I use jquery-post method to submit 'field[ ][ ]' element to get the same result?

Array(
    [txt] => Array
        (
            [name] => sam
            [sex] => male
            [location] => somewhere
        )
    [num] => Array
        (
            [age] => 20
        )
    [date] => Array
        (
            [pob] => 2001-01-01
            [doj] => 2001-01-01
        )
)

Any help would be highly appreciated.

try jquery .Serializre()

var values = $("form").first().serialize();

This code will get all values and serialize to Url Data like it: "&field[txt][name]=foo1&field[txt][sex]=male"

then you use the Ajax:

$.ajax({url: $("form").first().attr("action"), data: values })

Use:

var postData = $("#formId").serializeArray();
$.post(url, postData, function(response){ //do something });

You can use a regular javascript object as a data parameter, and jQuery will take care to serialize it as an url parameter :

var data = {
    fields: {
        txt: {
            name: "sam",
            sex: "male",
            location: "somewhere"
        },
        num: {
            age: 20
        },
        date: {
             pob: "2001-01-01",
             doj: "2001-01-01"
        }
    }
};
$.post(url, data, function(answer){ ... });
