Question

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready( function () { //The page has been loaded...
    var ref = document.referrer; //Referrer
    var curpg = document.location.href; //Current page URL
    var dataSet = 'ref=' + ref + '&curpg=' curpg + '&shizz1e=21';

    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: "http://www.domainname.com/ajaxreceiver.php",
        data: dataSet
    });
    return false;
});
</script>

I am trying to submit the ‘curpg’, ‘ref’, and ‘shizz1e’ variables to ajaxreceiver.php as soon as the page loads, without any user intervention. I am also trying to avoid having the page refresh or redirect the client to ajaxreceiver.php. I’m not sure why this code isn’t working; the dataSet variable never gets sent to ajaxreceiver.php.

I would have to see your server-side PHP code because your JavaScript code looks OK to me. I think it should work.

Try this rewriting it like this, though:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready( function () {
        var referrer = document.referrer;
        var current_page_url = $(location).attr('href');
        var data_object = {
            'ref':        referrer,
            'curpg':      current_page_url,
            'shizz1e':    '21'
        };

        $.ajax({
            'url':        "http://your.url.com/php_script.php",
            'data':       data_object,
            'success':    function (return_data) {
                // Do something on success.
            }
        });
    });
</script>

This is just a bit cleaner in my opinion. Please show some of your server-side PHP code, so I can really help you find out what’s going wrong.
