Question

I never had such a problem and I’m pretty puzzled:

function delete_post(id) {   var answer = confirm('Are you sure you want to delete your post? (this action cannot be undone)')    if (answer) {     $.ajax({        method:'post',       url: 'ajax/delete.php',       data:'id='+id,       beforeSend: function(){ $('#delete_post').show('slow'); },       success: function(html) { $('#delete_post').html(html); }     });   }   else {}   return false; } 

I had a problem on the server side and, after analizing the output with firebug I noticed that the request turns out to be a GET instead of a post! What Am I missing here?

Oh easy one. The property is type not method:

$.ajax({    type:'POST',   url: 'ajax/delete.php',   data:'id='+id,   beforeSend: function() {     $('#delete_post').show('slow');   },   success: function(html) {     $('#delete_post').html(html);   } }); 

Note: from the documentation the method (type) is in uppercase (‘GET’, ‘POST’). I don’t actually know if it matters or not however.
