Ajax Post Not Working

I'm using jQuery and Codeigniter to update the database via AJAX. The following code does not seem to do anything or send anything to my controller when the button is clicked... jQ

Solution 1:

In this case its better to bind to the 'submit' event on the form and then use preventDefault() to stop the HTML submission and use Ajax instead.

You should also use the form's action instead of window.location

$("#writereview_form").submit(function(e) {
  var $this = $(this);
  e.preventDefault();

  $.ajax({
      type: "POST",
      url: $this.attr('action'),
      dataType: "json",
      data: $this.serialize() + '&ajax=true',
      cache: false,
      success: function(data) {
                  alert("yay");
                  //$("#writereview_box").fadeOut(1000);
      }
  });

});

Solution 2:

Try withiut using window.location.href and giving url as url: "page.php",
