jQuery Forum

Hello there,

I know I'm noob but I really see nothing that would impede IE7/8 to go ahead and make the ************* ajax request already. ****!

Alright, now that I have that off my chest.

I have a silly form that should submit when a checkbox is clicked. However, even though it gets past the $.post and other crap I've tried reading on the jquery form plugin page (I know it gets past it ok because the alert triggers), IE7/8 DOES NOT MAKE the damn post. Firefox is fine, it worked with all of the different types of submission methods I could find everywhere on the net.

Any help would be appreciated. I've lost my cool hours ago.

1. <form style="width:390px;position:absolute;margin-left:25px;" action="http://cant.show.form.url/form.php?form=2" id="frmSS2" method="post">
               <input name="subscribename" id="subscribename" type="text" value="" hidden style="width:0; height:0; border:0; background-color:inherit; overflow:hidden;" />
               <input name="subscribeemail" id="subscribeemail" type="text" value="" hidden style="width:0; height:0; border:0; background-color:inherit; overflow:hidden;" />
               <script type="text/javascript">

                   document.getElementById("subscribename").value = x;
                   enableMe();
                   }
                   function copyMyEmail() {
