I made a few suggestions in a previous message. Did you try any of
them ? Also when you say nothing happened it would be helpful if you
could clarify what sort of nothing: nothing changed visually on the
page, or no ajax request was made, or one was made but your server did
not respond to the request, something else ? You may find firebug
useful for diagnosing this sort of thing (and i'd very much recommend
that you start by working out exactly why things aren't working)
