JQuery Ajax POST XML structure / Filter Chain

Question

I want to Post an XML structure via AJAX to get a filtered result set. The webservice is able to handle post requests, but something seems to be wrong with my POSTing.

$.ajax({
    url: ajaxurl,
    data: {
        inputxml: escape('<test></test>') <- how to post xml structure correctly?
    }, 
    type: 'POST',
    contentType: "text/xml",
    dataType: "text",
    success : parse,
    error : function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError){  
        alert(xhr.status);          
        alert(thrownError);
    } 
});

XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<f:filterChain
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xmlns:f="urn:foo">
    <f:filter attributeId="number">
        <f:rangeCondition conditionSign="INCLUSION" operator="BETWEEN">
            <f:low>5</f:low>
            <f:high>15</f:high>
        </f:rangeCondition>
    </f:filter>
</f:filterChain>

Thanks

you will have to escape the quotes etc see this answer stackoverflow.com/q/3099369/413670, also try sending a simple xml like "<test></test>" se if it gets posted — Rafay

my result is still empty but the ajax post is working and running into the success function... thats a good step. thanks, anything else to take care of? like mime-type or something? — dotchuZ

Maybe it's best to set your values in an object and send that object over to the server as xml by setting the dataType of the ajax method to 'xml'.

Just create an object that you send as data like { 'test' : 'test' }

will jquery automatically convert an object to xml, if you set the data as xml?
