[jQuery] $.post to submit form data?

[vince]

Another problem I am having.

I have tried using jQuery's $.post function from within a form. i.e:

onclick="$.post(\'login.php\', this.form ,function(data)
{ document.getElementById(\'login_container\').innerHTML = data;  }) ;

which ... kind of works

on the other end I have:

if (isset($_POST['usern'])) {
        $usern = $_POST['usern'];
        $pass = $_POST['pass'];


Simple. However it doesn't work, and if I echo the contents of the
strings I get...

[object HTMLInputElement]


Any help?

Thanks
