Hi,
I'm trying to use an ajax post request and not sure why is not working.
Code in a button:
$.post(    "HTMLTestPage.htm",
    {
     employeeID: "007",
     requestType: "R"
    },
    function(xml){
        alert( xml );
        alert( "BankName = " + $("#BankName", xml).val() );                        
    }
);    
The 'HTMLTestPage.html' is an html page (not xml). When I click on the
button the first alert returns the whole page and I can see the source code,
id=BankName and value for the field, but the second alert returns an empty
string. I tried using the text() and html() function, but the outcome was
the same.
By the way, when I created a test button on the 'HTMLTestPage.html' with
'alert( $("#BankName" ).val()' it worked and I got the value displayed.
Any idea?
Any help is much appreciated, thanks.
