Question

I have the following three vars:

var action,
    pubMode,
    token;

All three values should be submitted via POST and with ajax. Since POST doesn’t take an url I have absolutely no idea how to do so?

function ajaxPost(action, pubMode, token) {

    $.ajax({
        url: ??,
        dataType: "text json",
        type: "POST",
        success: function(jsonObject,status) {

            console.log("function() ajaxPost : " + status);

        }
    });
}

Can you guys please help me out here! Thank you

$.ajax has a data option where you can pass the variables as on object, or as a query string.

POST is not like GET where you tack the variables onto the URL. Use the URL you want to post to as url and use data to send the variables.

$.ajax({
    url: 'http://your/url/here',
    dataType: "text json",
    type: "POST",
    data: {action: action, pubMode: pubMode, token: token},
    success: function(jsonObject,status) {

        console.log("function() ajaxPost : " + status);

    }
});
