<form class="product_addtocart_form" action="<?php echo $this->getAddToCartUrl($_product) ?>" method="post" id="product_addtocart_form_<?php echo $_product->getId()?>"<?php if($_product->getOptions()): ?> enctype="multipart/form-data"<?php endif; ?>>
 <?php if(!$_product->isGrouped()): ?>
                         <label for="qty" class="qtylabel" style=""><?php echo $this->__('Qty') ?>:</label>
 <input type="text" class="form-control qtybox" name="qty">

 <button type="submit" class="link_cart"><span><i class="fa fa-shopping-cart" style="margin-right: 5px;"></i><?php echo $this->__('Add to Cart') ?></span></button>
 </form>

<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(document).ready(function(){
        jQuery('.product_addtocart_form').submit(function(event){
            event.preventDefault();
            var $this = jQuery(this);
            jQuery($this).parents('li').append('<div class="ajax_loader"></div>');
            url = jQuery(this).attr('action');
            console.log(jQuery(this).serialize());
            url += '&isAjax=1';
            var data = jQuery(this).serialize();
            data += '&isAjax=1';
            jQuery.ajax({
                    url : url,
                    dataType : 'json',
                    type : 'post',
                    data : data,
                    success : function(data) {
                        getcartdata($this);
                    }
                });
            setTimeout(function(){
                //getcartdata($this);
            },1000);
        });
    });






    function getcartdata($this){
        jQuery.ajax( {
            url : "<?php echo Mage::getBaseUrl().'getcitys/index/getcartdetail'; ?>",
            dataType : 'html',
            type : 'get',
            success : function(data) {
                jQuery('.ajax_loader').hide();
                jQuery('.block-cart-header').html(data);
            }
        });
    }
</script>

Make in controllers/IndexController.php

public function getcartdetailAction() {
        $block = $this->getLayout()->createBlock('checkout/cart_sidebar');
        $block->setTemplate('checkout/cart/sidebar_header_ajax.phtml');
        echo $block->toHtml();exit;
 }


view.phtml page in template
 

productAddToCartForm.submit = function(button, url) {
            if (this.validator.validate()) {
                var form = this.form;
                var oldUrl = form.action;

                if (url) {
                   form.action = url;
                }
                var e = null;
                try {

                    button.disabled = true;
                }
            }

Replace above code To below code

                if (e) {

            }
        }.bind(productAddToCartForm);

Write Bottom in view page

How to get only cart sidebar Layout block in magento

In your controller you could try something like this:

$block = $this->getLayout()->createBlock('checkout/cart_sidebar');

$block->setTemplate('checkout/cart/sidebar.phtml');

Depending on your configuration (Config -> Checkout -> Shopping Cart Sidebar),

you can render the template with  

$block->toHtml(); 

If you use a custom template, you could ignore the config value so it renders anytime.

JQuery serialize() function with $.ajax() post for bigger HTML forms

JQuery provides a very useful function jQuery.serialize() which encodes a set of form elements as a string for submission, and is very useful while we are dealing with huge HTML forms. Basically it will combine your values of form element and then you can post it on any server side scripting page.

For example, suppose you have a very long form with many fields and you want to post it with the help of $.ajax() function, you need to add just few lines of code for jquery from with ajax, no need to add id attribute to any form elements, just have to give id to form itself as follows:

<form name="frm_details" id="frm_details" method="post">
<input type="text" name="name" value="jems">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>

The above form will have all the fields like text boxes, text areas, select boxes, radios etc. having only name attribute, just as our usual html form. Now the JQuery code will be as follows:

<script>
 $(function() {
   $("#product_details").on("submit", function(event) {
      event.preventDefault();

      $.ajax({
         url: "somefile.php",
         type: "post",
         data: $(this).serialize(),
         success: function(d) {
           alert(d);
         }
      });
    });
  });
</script>

Including jQuery condition if in page have jQuery or not

// Including jQuery conditionnally.
  if (typeof jQuery === 'undefined') {
    document.write("\u003cscript src=\"\/\/ajax.googleapis.com\/ajax\/libs\/jquery\/1\/jquery.min.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e");
    document.write('<script type="text/javascript">jQuery.noConflict();<\/script>');
  }
