reloading page after $.post

reloading page after $.post

hi,

i have a <SELECT> field in an HTML form. instead of a 'submit' button i am trying to have the form submitted whenever a new option is selected.

my jquery code is as follows:

$(document).ready(function(){
   $('select').change(function(){
      $.post("/index.php/colleag/fixtures/", {team : "ARU"});
      return false;
   });
});


the problem is:
- when 'submit' button is used, the page is redirected to the target URL with appropriate arguments which i get by reading $_POST.
- with the above jQuery submission, data reaches the server, but the page is not redirected.

any help would be much appreciated.
