Question

I am having some trouble sending values from one page to another using the jQuery ajax() function.

For some reason the request.form on my VBscript page won’t pick up the data I send using the ajax() function in jQuery.

Here is my javascript function which is called in an onsubmit event in my form:

function sendData() {
 $.ajax({
  type: "POST",
  url: "/useData.asp",
  data: {
   newData: $("form[name=myData] [name=newData]").val()
  },
  success: function(response) {
   $("#responseData").html(response);
  },
  error: function(xhr) {
   alert("Error: " + xhr.status);
  }
 });

 return false;
}

And here is my VBscript:

<%=request.form("newData")%>

For some reason when I use POST I don’t get any data returned in the responseData div.
But if I change POST to GET and request.form to request.queryString I get my data as I should do.

Can anybody tell me why POST and request.form are not working?

I found my problem.

We are using IIS7 and have used some of the pre-defined URL rewriting rules in the URL rewrite module.

It seems that enforcing lowercase URLs causes a lot of problems with this kind of stuff, so I deleted the lowecase URLs rule from the site in IIS7 and it works fine now.
