The parameters aren't nested properly, you want.

{  "category" => {"name"=>"abc", "notes" => "abcde", "parent_nid" => "0"},
   "authenticity_token"=>"d8c79e2216df723f373a9170fa364f9a3c147092"
}


I also suspect that the parent_nid attribute of category probably
should be parent_id (based on convention assuming that
a category belongs_to :parent)

So I think you want something like this javascript:

post_params="category[name]="+name+"&category[notes]="+notes+"&category[parent_id]="+parent_nid+"&authenticity_token="+window._token;
