Comments.Text: All of your custom fields are going to require a name that starts with `fields`. So, your `answers[new1][fields][question]` should probably be `fields[answers][new1][fields][question]`. You can find an example of a front-end Matrix fields input structure here: https://straightupcraft.com/articles/craft-cms-field-guide-twig?view=input

Title: Creating a guest entry, with a Matrix field, using Ajax
ThreadText: # Creating a guest entry, with a Matrix field, using Ajax
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-09-16)
  
  I'm trying to submit a guest entry by building a javascript array of objects to mimic a form submission and submit using ajax. I've managed to successfully submit the entry with just a title but when trying to add Matrix/Super Table rows I'm having no luck.
  
  I've looked here <https://github.com/engram-design/SuperTable/wiki/Updating-a-Super-Table-field-from-a-front-end-form> to get ideas for how this should work.
  
  Super table block handle is `answers` and the Super Table field I'm trying to submit is a plain text field with the handle `question`.
  
  My current code is:
  
  ```
  $('#submitQuiz').on('click', function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
  
    var testEntrySubmission = [
      {
        name: 'action',
        value: 'guestEntries/saveEntry'
      },
      {
        name: 'sectionId',
        value: '5'
      },
      {
        name: 'enabled',
        value: '1'
      },
      {
        name: 'redirect',
        value: '/'
      },
      {
        name: 'title',
        value: 'user name'
      },
      {
        name: 'answers[new1][fields][question]',
        value: 'fingers crossed'
      }
    ];
  
    $.post('http://mywebsite.dev/', testEntrySubmission, function(response) {
      if (response.success) {
        console.log('success')
      } else {
        // response.error will be an object containing any validation errors that occurred, indexed by field name
        // e.g. response.error.fromName => ['From Name is required']
        alert('An error occurred. Please try again.');
      }
    });
  });
  
  ```

  Answer to my question. I ended up making a form and printing out the post as JSON.
  
  ```
  $('#submitQuiz').on('click', function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
  
    var testEntrySubmission = [
      {
        name: 'action',
        value: 'guestEntries/saveEntry'
      },
      {
        name: 'sectionId',
        value: '5'
      },
      {
        name: 'enabled',
        value: '1'
      },
      {
        name: 'redirect',
        value: '/'
      },
      {
        name: 'title',
        value: 'user name'
      },
      {
      'name':'fields[answers]',
      'value':''
      },
      {
        'name':'fields[answers][new1][type]',
        'value':'6'
      },
      {
        'name':'fields[answers][new1][enabled]',
        'value':'1'
      },
      {
        'name':'fields[answers][new1][fields][question]',
        'value':'John Smith'
      },
    ];
  
    $.post('http://mywebsite.dev/', testEntrySubmission, function(response) {
      if (response.success) {
        console.log('success')
      } else {
        // response.error will be an object containing any validation errors that occurred, indexed by field name
        // e.g. response.error.fromName => ['From Name is required']
        alert('An error occurred. Please try again.');
      }
    });
  });
  
  ```
