Using a PHP POST form inside javascript - jquery .load()

Using a PHP POST form inside javascript - jquery .load()

I'm using a fairly standard HTML/PHP form to update tables in a MYSQL database. When I load the form into a web browser directly it works just fine. When I try loading the form through javascript (via a larger website) the forms displays but doesn't do anything. When i click the submit button nothing happens - and no errors are generated anywhere I can see. Can anyone shed some light on this?
this.display_admin_table_header = function () { current_pane.send_get_admin_table_data = this.send_get_admin_table_data; $('#admin_tab').addClass('selected'); $('#stat_table').find('tr:gt(0)').remove(); $('#stat_table').load('form2.php'); //<--form i'm loading }
