[jQuery] ajax post to ruby script

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello!

Sorry for the n00b post, but i've come to a dead end. I'm trying to
write an ajax callback to a Ruby script that does a simple database
update. I'm having trouble with the syntax I think. Here's what I've
been trying:

        $("#jLink").click(function() {

                        $.ajax({
                                type: "POST",
                                url: "testing.rb",
                                data: "name=ryan",
                                success: function(msg){
                                    alert( "Data Saved: " + msg );
                                }
                        });
         });

Does anyone have any examples I can take a look at?

Thanks!
