Hi,

Need explanation of where I'm going wrong. I have to process the var str to properly call $.ajax but don't know how. See Source below to see value of str.

1.     var str=$("#imageForm").serialize()+"&recId="+recId;
   
   var request = $.ajax({  // get data from database
       url: "revise.php",
       type: "POST",
       data: str,                      // wrong way here, I think
       dataType: "json"         
   }); // ajax
   
   request.done (updatedData);
           
   request.fail(function( jqXHR, textStatus ) {
       alert("Bad Request!! revised.html 145 See Firebug");      
   });

The above causes error.

1.     var str=$("#imageForm").serialize()+"&recId="+recId;
   
   
    
           $.post("revise.php",str, "json"),                  // this works ok
               function updatedData(retData) {                 
                   $.each(retData[0], function(key, value) {
                       $("#"+key).val(value);
                   }); // each         
            }; // updated
            //successMsgShow();             
       }; // update

Here is the output from firebug when $.post is called.
