Also, Brian, $.post() has been deprecated in favor of $.ajax(). where
you would write something like:
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'page.php',
datatype: 'html', // or json, or xml or script depending on what's
getting returned
data: {'name':'Joe', 'age':'24',...},//also I think you could pass
24 instead of '24' if you wanted.
success: function(data){
// do something upon success
},
error:function(data){
// do something if the call fails
}
});
or you could create your parameter object like this
var params = {};
params.name = 'Joe';
params.age = '24';
params.blah = 'something else';
then in the ajax call you would just say:
...
data: params,
success: function(){
},
...
Anyway I think that's the preferred method now, but I could be wrong. :o)
Cheers,
Chris

$.post() accepts a collection of name/value pairs, I don't think
multi-dimensional arrays/objects work, so what you've already suggested:
$post('page.php',{name:'Joe',age:'24'},...);
will work.

This is actually probably more relevant to post() since I can
concatenate the parameters with the link for getJSON(), but here we go
anyway.
I am pulling JSON information from the server for menu links, and
then
creating the menu off of that. Let's say that I have
{page: 'update.php', linkname: 'Update Joe', vars: [{name: 'name',
value: 'Joe'}, {name: 'age', value: '24'}]}
as information that was returned for the link from the server (sorry
if the JSON isn't quite right). If I were to put this directly in a
link, it wouldn't be a problem, but since I am trying to put the info
into a post() as parameters to pass to the server (the vars), I'm
running into an issue of how to do it.
I was toying with the idea of storing the values in an outside
variable, and just use that in the call: post(' update.php', varlist);
I'm just not sure how that would work.
The API info for getJSON and post both have params (Map) and it looks
like JSON. I guess the problem is that I'm not sure what Map is, and
how I should be using it. Should I shorten my vars to just: vars:
{name: 'Joe', age: '24'} and use something like: post('update.php',
json.vars)? (Where json is the JSON object that is returned).
