How to submit a form without page refreshing using ajax?-CodePudding

I added ajax to my pug file to send data. But the form is refreshing and I don't want that.

This is my ajax code -

script.
            $(function() {
                $('form.appointment').submit(function(e) {
                    e.preventDefault(); // Prevent the form from submitting via the browser
                    var form = $(this);
                    $.ajax({
                        type: form.attr('methon'),
                        url: form.attr('action'),
                        data: form.serialize()
                    });
                });
            });

and the line e.preventDefault(); should stop the page from refreshing but it doesn't.

Use Return false; on submit form

 $('#form').submit(function()
 {
      return false;
 });

I put the script in the form and that was causing the problem. When I put my ajax code above the form element it works fine.
