If your code snippets are stored somewhere in a database or files, I suggest you just link the snippets to a page where you get the snippet based on some identifier.

If the snippets are only contained in your html, and you just want to display them in a cleaner way, you shouldn't need any ajax posting. You might want to Use a hover div or a jquery plugin, that pop's up and shows a cleaner piece of code obtained from the pre element, something like:

$('pre').click(function() {
   var code = $(this).html(); //this is the pre contents you  want to send
   $('#hoverDiv').html(code).show();
});
