To implement client-side form submission and [prevent page](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/34430/how-to-prevent-page-refresh-on-ajax-request) [refresh](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/12865/how-to-refresh-dropdownlist-but-keep-old-selected-value-json) using jQuery, you can use the following steps:

1. Attach an event listener to the form's submit event.
2. In the event handler, use the preventDefault() method to prevent the form from submitting.
3. Use the ajax() method to submit the form data to the server.
4. In the success callback of the ajax() method, update the page with the response data.

Here is an example of how to implement client-side form submission and prevent page refresh using jQuery:

Code snippet

```plaintext
$('form').on('submit', function(event) {
  event.preventDefault();

  $.ajax({
    url: this.action,
    type: this.method,
    data: $(this).serialize(),
    success: function(response) {
      // Update the page with the response data.
    }
  });
});
```

This code will attach an event listener to the form's submit event. When the form is submitted, the event handler will be called. The event handler will prevent the form from submitting and then use the ajax() method to submit the form data to the server. In the success callback of the ajax() method, the page will be updated with the response data.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind when implementing client-side form submission and preventing page refresh using jQuery:

- You can use the beforeSubmit() method to perform additional validation before the form is submitted.
- You can use the error() method to handle errors that occur when submitting the form.
- You can use the complete() method to perform additional tasks after the form has been submitted.
