Is the myXML part also considered data that's part of your XML? I
think by setting 'processData' to false means it is. If you set it to
true (default), myXML will be the name set for the variable (your
XML).
Try setting processData to true (or just removing that line).
Also, what happens if you try:
params = "<zone id='234'>asdf</zone>";
And then in $.ajax:
data: {myXML:params},
This separates the name and value a bit more clearly, in my opinion.
