//post data
function SubmitForm(method)
{
var login = document.form.login.value;
var password = document.form.password.value;
$.post("../content/backend.php", { login: login,password: password,method: method});
}

Im trying to post data using the above call. In firefox firebug flashes up an error but dose not give me time to evaluate the only thing I can see is an error point to jquery which relates to the following code.

// Send the data
 try {
  xhr.send(s.data);
 } catch(e) {
  jQuery.handleError(s, xhr, null, e);
 }

Any one know why this is happening? Entire page posted below

+2  A: 

Your submit function should return false to stop event propagation.

function SubmitForm(method)
{
var login = document.form.login.value;
var password = document.form.password.value;
try {
    $.post("../content/backend.php", { login: login,password: password,method: method});
} catch(e) {
    alert(e);
}
return false
}

To stop the default even handler from being called.

Also wrap the call inside a try/catch to make debugging easier. It's hard for us to debug the code since we don't have the called script.
