Jay, could this be it? When I go to this URL I get an error: http://bttt.bidding-games.com/setBothBids.php?id=16&player1=500&player2=500
Since you're using $.get() you can just view a URL as above, and see what php is sending back. If it's not the JSON data you're expecting, that is probably why the alert is not firing. -K jbhat wrote: > Okay, i got my code up and running on http://bttt.bidding-games.com/game.php > > when you type something in the bid box, and hit enter, we get a post > firing to setBothBids.php.
