Question

I am trying to create a page that I can edit the contents of a <textarea> and when I click Submit, it should update mysql DB. When I click the submit button. Firebug is giving me this error:

NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS: Could not convert JavaScript argument

Can anyone tell me why I am getting that error? Here is my code:

HTML

<form id="homeForm" method="post">
     <textarea cols="100" rows="20" id="hometext" name="hometext"><?php echo $pagetext ?></textarea>
     <input class="submit" type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

Jquery/ajax

$(document).ready(function(){
 $('#homeForm').submit(function(){
    var homeText = $('textarea#hometext').val();

    $.ajax({
        url: "PHPscripts/updateHomeText.php",
        type: "POST",
        data: {'hometext' : hometext},
        success: function(data) {}
    });
    return false;
 });
});

You try to passe data: {'hometext' : hometext} but hometext isn’t declared in your code. Did you mean homeText ?

Just a little mistake. Check the case and accord the variables names.
