getting false return when sending data to a php script

getting false return when sending data to a php script

I'm trying to send some data to a php file with my jquery script.
However it doesn't seem to work, as I'm getting a false return whatever I'm trying.


Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?


Please note, the php file isn't doing much.. it's just for testing purposes.

  2.   <script language="javascript">
  3.   $(document).ready(function() {
  4.    
  5.    $('select').change(function() {
  6.    
  7.    if ($(this).val()=='delete'){
  8. var parent = $(this).closest('tr');
  9. $.ajax({
  10. type: 'post',
  11. dataType: 'html',
  12. url: 'process.php',
  13. data: '&delete=' + $(this).attr('id'),
  14. beforeSend: function() {
  15. parent.animate({'backgroundColor':'#00B2EE'},300);
  16. },
  17. success: function() {
  19. parent.fadeOut(300,function() {
  20. parent.remove();
  21. });
  22. },
  23. error: function(){
  24.               alert("something went wrong");
  25.             }
  26. });        
  27.    }

  29. });
  30.   
  31.   });
  32.   </script>

  34. and my php file contains:

  37.   <?php
  38.   if (isset($_GET["delete"])<>''){
  39. echo 'cool!';  
  40.     return;  exit;
  41.    
  42. }

  44.   ?>
