Hi, I personally prefer to use $.getJSON for this sort of thing,
seems to do a better job with the JSON parsing and all that:
$.getJSON(_HOMEDIR+"send?"+str, ...
However, I'm wondering if "send" is actually the name of the file you
want to invoke? Perhaps you left the .php off in your url string?
_HOMEDIR+"send.php?"+str
Also, I think you have a parameter for the error function
error: function(result) {
...
Have you looked at the error console under Firebug? That might give
you some clues...
