when I define my params and make a call like this:

function test()
{
    var params = [];
    params.push({'name':'data[config][controller]', 'value':'1'});

    $.post('/mycontroller/conview', params, onSuccess);
}

in 7 of 10 attempts it doesn't send any data to the server. I check it in firebug and it shows nothing was sent.

however, if I change it to

function test()
{
    var params = [];
    params.push({'name':'data[config][controller]', 'value':'1'});
    someglobalvariable = params;
    $.post('/mycontroller/conview', someglobalvariable, onSuccess);
}

it works without any problems.

my system is: ubuntu feisty, with firefox 2.0.06
