Question

If have a html form like

<form method="POST" action="http://.../file.php">
    <input type="text" name="data" id="data" />
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

I want to make a ajax-request with jQuery, but I don’t want to use an invisible form to submit this. But somehow I don’t get it to work. My try was

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "http://.../file.php",
    data: d,
    success: function(msg){
        alert( "Data Saved: " + msg );
    }
});

were dcontains a JSON object which I would just paste in the above form field as plaintext. The success function gets executed, but I don’t get the answer from the server (which means that something must go wrong 🙂

Answer 1

Are you POSTing on the same domain? Ajax doesn’t work cross-domain.
