    copied!<p>Having trouble with what I thought was a relatively simple jQuery plugin...</p> <p>The plugin should fetch data from a php script via ajax to add options to a <code>&lt;select&gt;</code>. The ajax request is pretty generic:</p> <pre><code>$.ajax({ url: o.url, type: 'post', contentType: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", data: '{"method":"getStates", "program":"EXPLORE"}', success: function (data, status) { console.log("Success!!"); console.log(data); console.log(status); }, error: function (xhr, desc, err) { console.log(xhr); console.log("Desc: " + desc + "\nErr:" + err); } }); </code></pre> <p>This seems to work fine in Safari. In Firefox 3.5, the <code>REQUEST_TYPE</code> on the server is always 'OPTIONS', and the $_POST data does not appear. Apache logs the request as type 'OPTIONS':</p> <pre><code>::1 - - [08/Jul/2009:11:43:27 -0500] "OPTIONS sitecodes.php HTTP/1.1" 200 46 </code></pre> <p>Why would this ajax call work in Safari, but not Firefox, and how do I fix it for Firefox?</p> <pre> Response Headers Date: Wed, 08 Jul 2009 21:22:17 GMT Server:Apache/2.0.59 (Unix) PHP/5.2.6 DAV/2 X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.6 Content-Length 46 Keep-Alive timeout=15, max=100 Connection Keep-Alive Content-Type text/html Request Headers Host orderform:8888 User-Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5 Accept text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Language en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding gzip,deflate Accept-Charset ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive 300 Connection keep-alive Origin http://ux.inetu.act.org Access-Control-Request-Method POST Access-Control-Request-Headers x-requested-with </pre> <p>Here is a picture of the Firebug output:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Tid8P.jpg" alt=""></p>
