$.post callback function does not work when defined inline

[rking999]

The following works & writes test to the screen:

$.post(url,data,alert("test"));

And this doesnt write anything:

$.post(url,data,function(){alert("test")});

It used to work using JQuery 1.3.2

If ajax callbacks just didn't work at all, we would have heard about it. Clearly there is more to your example. Please ask for help on the forum and narrow down the problem.

This is a genuine problem and exists on Firefox 4 Beta version(s). Also affected are .get, .getJSON and .ajax functions.

An example page created using one of the above functions with a callback method is never called on completion of the method in Firefox 4b3 while it works perfect on Safari.

I am not disputing that it is a genuine problem. If it only manifests in Firefox 4 beta, it should be reported there. They will probably need a test case, so when that is ready, reopen this ticket with that very same test case attached, plus a link to the Firefox bug report.
