Ajax First Timer Needs Help Submitting Form

Hi all.

I’m “php comfortable”, html experienced and a javascript hack.

Not being a professional, I’ve always steered clear of script conversations that involved responses such as “All you need to do is $.(something) { $.blahblah }”

I realize that means nothing and am ready to get a basic handle on it.

In short, I’ve never attempted Ajax and to compound the issue, I’m newer to the WordPress platform.

I’ve read that Ajax doesn’t work in the same way on WordPress as it does elsewhere.

Would someone here be willing to provide a total freeby on how to submit this form and return it’s php output results to a specific div?

<form name=”location” action=”moto_weather.php” method=”post”>
<input type=”text” name=”location_search” value=”Enter Zip Code (Or Leave Blank)”>
<input type=”submit” value=”Update”>
</form>

I should add that I have other Ajax-active plugins installed: Contact Form 7 and Genesis eNews Extended.

Perhaps their pre-integration can be of use to my form function?
