i am trying to use data i am getting back from $.post but I am not able to get the function with the data in it to work
$("a.rater").click(function(event) { $.post($(this).attr("href")), function(data) { update = data.split('|'); $('#'update[0]).replaceWith(update[1]); }; return false; } ); i also tried $("a.rater").click(function(event) { $.post($(this).attr("href")), function(data) { alert(+data); }; return false; } ); any suggestions?
