I can't get this alert() to happen. It doesn't pop-up at all.

1.     $(document).ready(function(){ 
2.         $("#compose-form").submit(function(){
3.             $.post(
4.                 "handle_actions.php", 
5.                 $("#compose-form").serialize(), 
6.                 function(data){ 
7.                     alert(""+data.message); 
8.                 },
9.                 "json"
10.             ); 
11.             return false; 
12.         });
    });

Pertinent code in handle_actions.php:

1. $json = array(
2.                     'success' => $success,
3.                     'message' => $message
4.                 );
5.                
6. echo json_encode($json);

Note that all the code in handle_actions.php executes fine. The problem seems to be in the first code snippet.

Let me know if you need more information. Thanks.

Why doesn't this do anything?

This jQuery:

1. $("div.item > img.expander").css('display', 'none');

On this HTML:

1. <div class="item"><img src="images/plus.jpg" class="expander" />Test Text</div>
