[jQuery] .post

[jQuery] .post


Sorry for the noob question. I am using the .post ajax method on a
form. I use the following jquery code:
$("form#changeinfo").submit(function(){
$.post("ownerdetails.php", {
name: $("#name").val() });
});
So when the form with the id of changeinfo is submitted it posts
information to ownerdetails.php. But when I write my php in
ownerdetails.php and try to get the value of name it doesnt work. my
php is simple just to test:
$name = $_POST['name'];
echo $name;
This does nothing even though there is a value in the field. Its as if
nothing is posted to the server. Any ideas?
