Answer 1

var data = 'id='+ id  & 'name='+ name;

The ampersand needs to be quoted as well:

var data = 'id='+ id  + '&name='+ name;

Answer 2

You can create an object of key/value pairs and jQuery will do the rest for you:

$.ajax({
    ...
    data : { foo : 'bar', bar : 'foo' },
    ...
});

This way the data will be properly encoded automatically. If you do want to concoct you own string then make sure to use encodeURIComponent(): https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/encodeURIComponent

Your current code is not working because the string is not concocted properly:

'id='+ id  & 'name='+ name

should be:

'id='+ encodeURIComponent(id) + '&name='+ encodeURIComponent(name)

Answer 3

var value1=$("id1").val();
var value2=$("id2").val();
data:"{'data1':'"+value1+"','data2':'"+value2+"'}"

Answer 4

I would recommend using a hash instead of a param string:

data = {id: id, name: name}

Answer 5

you can use FormData

take look at my snippet from MVC

var fd = new FormData();
fd.append("ProfilePicture", $("#mydropzone")[0].files[0]);// getting value from form feleds 
d.append("id", @(((User) Session["User"]).ID));// getting value from session

$.ajax({
    url: '@Url.Action("ChangeUserPicture", "User")',
    dataType: "json",
    data: fd,//here is your data
    processData: false,
    contentType: false,
    type: 'post',
    success: function(data) {},

var CommentData= "u_id=" + $(this).attr("u_id") + "&post_id=" + $(this).attr("p_id") + "&comment=" + $(this).val();
