Send data from a form in a template back to controller

[Jarvis]

In my controller i have two functions actionIndex() and my 'action' area - actionSubmit().

If my form is simply:

<form>
Text area 1 <input type="text" name="area1">
Text area 2 <input type="text" name="area2">
<input type="submit">
</form>

How can I send the two text area strings back to the controller when a user presses 'submit'?

I've read about:

$text = $this->_input->filterSingle('area1', XenForo_Input::STRING);

But I'm not sure how to implement it or even if this is what I'm looking for.

I've been looking at Kiers video on the form (https://xenforo.com/community/threads/scratchpad-demonstration-ajax-add-on.8369/)

I've narrowed it down to here -> form action="{xen:link scratchpad/post-note}"

How do I link that to my own controller instead? I don't see a related function in his ControllerPublic.

I don't see a related function in his ControllerPublic.

public function actionPostNote()

public function actionPostNote()

Thanks, I just cracked it a few minutes ago.

Just posting questions while slamming my head into it until I get there
