Question

i have a simple ajax post and something is going wrong. here is my code:

<div id="one_hundredContent"></div>
<a href="<?php echo $id; ?>" id="id"></a>
<a href="100" id="one_hundred"><div class="tab6_stats_under1">100</div></a>

and js

$('#one_hundred').live("click", function() {
var votes = $("#one_hundred").attr("href");
var id = $("#id").attr("href");
var dataString = 'id=' + id+ '&votes=' + votes;
$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "https://test.com/fileupload.php", 
    dataType: dataString ,
    success: function() {
        $('#one_hundredContent').html('success');
        }
});
return false;
});

and php

if(isset($_POST['id']) && isset($_POST['votes'])){
$tal = $_POST['id'];
$votes = $_POST['votes'];

echo $tal.' '. $votes;
die;
}

the request goes on OK:

Request URL:https://test.com/fileupload.php
Request Method:POST
Status Code:200 OK

but there is no response data, i don’t see my variables being passed on or my success message

any idea on what am i missing?

thanks

Change dataType: dataString to data: dataString

dataType is optional, but if set should be either xml, json, script or html
