$.ajax({ type: POST, url: OMFG.php, data: info, success: function(){ }}); is what I’m using

$.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "OMFG.php", data: info, success: function(){ }});

is what I’m using atm as a test and it works fine.

I need to get the url from the link I’m clicking, so I do:

var url = $(this).attr("href");

which works fine if I alert it out(the link includes http://samedomain.com/etc.php), but the ajax function doesn’t post if I insert it into the ajax code:

$.ajax({ type: "POST", url: url, data: info, success: function(){ }});

Please help, as I’m screwed without this working.

    You are using the id attribute. For getting the link you need to fetch the href attribute:

    var url = $(this).attr('href');

    EDIT: See you just changed to href – if that still does not work try debugging by using

    alert($(this).attr('href'));

    and see if it alerts an url and if it is correct.

    EDIT 2: Well, check in firebug in FF or Javascript Console in Chrome for errors or what url the script really is trying to post to. Depending on the rest of the code your url-variable might be out of scope if it is defined within some function or something.
