simple $.post isn't working?

simple $.post isn't working?

I'm pretty new to jQuery so try and go easy....

Trying to do a simple AJAX POST using the jQuery post method and it doesn't seem to be working.

Heres my code:

  1.         $.post("sub-account-ajax.php", { email_address: "test@test.com" },
             function(data){
                 alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
             });


Heres the code for sub-account-ajax.php:

  1. <?php

    if (isset($_POST['email_address']))
    {
        echo 'youre set';
    }
    else
    {
        echo 'nothing set';
    }

    ?>










When this code is executed I do not get any alerts or any error messages whatsoever. I've been pretty good with figuring things out so far with jQuery, but this is the first I'm stumped with.
