I have a simple form submission with ajax, but it keeps giving me an error. All the error says is error. No code, no description. No nothing, when I alert it when it fails.

Javascript with jQuery:

$(document).ready(function(){



        $(.post-input).submit(function(){

            var postcontent = $(.post-form).val();



            if (postcontent == ){

                return false;

            }



            $(.post-form).attr(disabled, disabled);



            $.ajax({

                url: '/post',

                type: 'POST',

                data: {post-form: postcontent},

                dataType: json,

                success: function(response, textStatus, jqXHR) {

                    alert(Yay!);

                },

                error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){

                    alert(textStatus, errorThrown);

                }

            });

        });

    });

HTML:

<form class=post-input action= method=post accept-charset=utf-8>

                <textarea class=post-form name=post-form rows=1 cols=10 onFocus=this.value='';return false;>What are you thinking about...</textarea>

                <p><input class=post-submit type=submit name = post.submitted value=Post></p>

            </form>

and if there are no problems there, then the server-side (pyramid):

def post(request):

    session = Session()

    user = authenticated_userid(request)

    postContent = request.POST['post-form']

    if not postContent == '':

        session.add(Activity(user.user_id, 0, postContent, None, None))

        return {}

    return HTTPNotFound()

UPDATE:
After some more debugging with firebug, I discovered that the post request body contains only post.submitted=Post, instead of the intended result of {post-form: postcontent}.
