Using jquery to make a POST, how to properly supply 'data' parameter?

Question

I\'d like to make an ajax call as a POST, it\'s going to go to my servlet. I want to send parameterized data, like the following:

var mydata = \'param0=some_         


        

Answer 1

If you have a form, you can also do var data = jQuery("#myForm").serialize(); which puts it in a form that jQuery.ajax can understand and use. Otherwise, use the object literal described in Nick's answer.
