Using .post but need to serialize the data

Using .post but need to serialize the data

Hey all.

I am using the .post function and creating the URL by serializing the data needed but the seriazlized data is going through as a GET, not POST.

Any ideas on how to make the serialized data to go through as POST?

var url='http://mydomain/pm.jsp?mode=1&' + $('.defaultParms').serialize() + "&" + $('.jsonParm').serialize()
    $.post(url,{
            mode99: "1"
            },
            function(data)

In the above code, the mode99 is sent as a POST, the url value is sent through as a GET.

Any help would be appreciated.
