$.post not working in firefox

Question

Here's my code it works fine in IE and Chrome, but not in FF

<script type="text/javascript"> function get() { $.post( 'regAuth.php', {usrName: login.usrName.value, password: login.password.value}, function (output) { $('#error').html(output).show(); } ); } </script>

Have you tried using firebug or something like it to see if there are javascript errors in the background? Or where the problem is breaking down? — Josh Darnell

You have to get the input elements properly:

{ usrName: $("input[name='usrName']").val(), password: $("input[name='password']").val() }

When you have such thing:

login.usrName.value

Some browsers will go and look for top level element named login (form, frame etc) but you must not depend on such thing.

As you're already using jQuery best practice in my opinion is to use it to read the input values as well.
