JQuery AJAX syntax

Question

I am trying to find the correct syntax to pass a varible to my JQuery Post.

var id = empid;

$.ajax({
    type: \"POST\",
    url: \"../Webservices/EmployeeS         


        

Answer 1

It's not. You're passing a string, you should be passing an object literal,e.g.

data: {"empid" : empid}

See the difference? Assuming empid is a variable with some sort of value, that should work fine. Alternatively you can do this

data: "empid="+empid
