Hi,

I was trying to send an ajax request as POST request. But when i verified it on httpFox on firefox, the request is sent as GET. I tried pbht $.ajax() and $.post().

Many had a query regarding the same and had missed the "type" in $.ajax(), but even if i mention the type as "POST", the request will be of type GET. Here is my code:

$('.test').click(function(){
   alert("clicked");
   $.ajax({
   type: "POST",
   url: "www.testsite.com",
   data: "name=John&location=Boston",
success: function(msg){
    alert( "Data Saved: " + msg );
}
});
 });

Any idea why it happens?
