If you use a data string like that, it would be recommended, I think.
However, I think it's better to put the data in a JSON object instead,
which you don't have to encode.
the $.ajax 'data' parameter will accept both types.
var dataObj = {name:name};
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "mail.ajax.php",
data: dataObj,
dataType: "html"
});
