jquery $.post function's result data

Question

When I make an ajax call (see code below), what is \"data\". How do I set and get data

//  $.post()  
 $(\"#post\").click(function(){  
     $(\"#result\").h         


        

Answer 1

For example, I use:

$(document).ready(function(){
$("#btSend").click(function() {
    $.post("/Ajax/script.php", {nome: $("#nome").val(), email: $("#email").val()}, function(data) {
        alert(data);
    });
    return false;
});

});

The script.php return what I want to show, but you can change to make another operation with 'data'. The 'btSend' is a image and the 'nome' and 'email' is html textboxes.

This works :)
