jQuery.post does not work in 1.5

I'm trying the examples from ​http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials:Getting_Started_with_jQuery and found that the AJAX post function does now work:

     $.post("rate.php", {rating: $(this).html()}, function(xml) {
       // format and output result
       $("#rating").html(
         "Thanks for rating, current average: " +
         $("average", xml).text() +
         ", number of votes: " +
         $("count", xml).text()
       );
     });

As I can see in FireBug, it does an OPTIONS call instead of a POST call.

It works fine in previous versions. It affect jQuery 1.5 only.

$.post works fine for me. OPTIONS indicates you are attempting to perform a cross-site request, which is not supported. If you can provide an actual, reproducible testcase, please feel free to comment again.

You are right, I was trying to do a cross-site request. This must be the problem.
