Hello,

I trying to make my first AJAX with JSON call using jQuery and CodeIgniter. But for some weird reason it's not working.

The jQuery code:

var item = "COOL!";
$.post("http://192.168.8.138/index.php/main/test", { "item" : item },
         function(data){
            alert(data.result);
         }, "json");

The CodeIgniter code:

<?php
class main extends Controller {
   function test() {
      $item = trim($this->input->post('item'));
      $array = array('result' => $item);
      echo json_encode($array);
   }
}
?>

I tried to access the http://192.168.8.138/index.php/main/test page manually and it seems to be working, I got: {"result":""}

I also tried to use Firebug to see XMLHttpRequest but saw nothing.

I have no idea what am I doing wrong... Need help really badly. Thank you.
