The "data" part of ajax should be some pair, for example: data: {myVar:value} myVar will then become your POST variable with the value 'value' (not the literal string) in your PHP script.
To extend on the comment using Firebug, you should use it for Firefox. The Firebug console will show you requests that are done through AJAX including parameters that are GET/POSTed and the response it returns. Very useful for debugging.
