[jQuery] Using .get to call perl script - Does not seem to be working

[septemberbrain]

I want a cgi script to run whenever a link is clicked on.  I thought I
had it working but the cgi script does not seem to be getting called.
Below is code I am using.  When using the $.get command I had to make
it $(document).get for it to work properly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
David


$(function(){
        $("#hnews a").click(function(){
        var modiDate = new Date();
          var monthName = new Array("January", "February", "March", "April",
"May",
           "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November",
"December");
           mod_date = modiDate.getFullYear()+ monthName[modiDate.getMonth()]+
modiDate.getDate();

        var log_name='Employee';
        var path_name = this.pathname.substring(1);
        var pathnameArray = path_name.split("/");
        var htmlfile = pathnameArray[pathnameArray.length-1];
        var stats_name = htmlfile.split(".");
        var stats_data = 'HOTNEWS_'+mod_date+'_'+isString(stats_name[0]);
        var awdoc1 = 'http://summit.net/cgi-bin/pslogger.cgi?site='+stats_data
+ '&log_name=' +log_name+ '&loc=' + escape(this.href)+ '&ref=' + escape
(document.URL);

        $(document).get(awdoc1,function(awdoc1){
                  alert("Data Loaded: " + awdoc1);
                  window.open
(awdoc1,'','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=700,height=700');
                });
        //alert ("data loaded: " + awdoc1);
        window.open
(this.href,'','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=700,height=700');
        return false;
        });
});

</script>
