JQuery problem

[beennn]

I'm trying to pass some variables from javascript to php but i'm having some trouble. I've tried replicating: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5227132/executing-a-php-script-in-javascript Here's how mine looks (pretty much copied exactly since it wasn't working):

function validateEdit() {var canGo = true;var dob = document.getElementById('dobtext').value;if (canGo  == true){  $.post('php/edit_profile.php', {dob : dob}, function(){       }).error(function(){    alert('error... ohh no!');   return false;   });} }

Which leads to "error... ohh no!". Any ideas what it is I'm doing wrong?

have you looked in the error console for any HTTP related errors? (404, 500, etc) also, if you use a browsers developer tools like in Chrome, the network tab will show you all HTTP requests made by the browser, and their responses. I would check there and see what kind of messaging you can gleam from it.

Sorted, thanks .
