Is it maybe generating an error? Try converting to a .ajax call so that you've got access to the error method handlers.

Simple post, trying to get a result back from the server. Heck even copied it from the documentation and the callback just will not fire, but the post works fine: var answer = confirm("Delete Selected?"); if (answer){ $.post("test.php", { name: "test" }, function(data){ alert("popped off!"); alert(data.name); // John console.log(data.time); // 2pm }, "json"); } PHP: <?php echo json_encode(array("name"=>"John","time"=>"2pm")); ?> I also tried with XML with no luck either. Firebug doesn't seem to show a response, but I know the post variables are passed just fine, because I wrote a logger [not included] to tell me what the variables where being passed. No dice on the return info. Tried this with both firefox and opera and in neither the call-backe worked. Ideas?
