[jQuery] post a list of values from a function

[webber]

using

$.post("ajaxProc.asp", { cmd:'ups', mystring}

"mystring" is a list of values created by a function that returns a
result like city:phoenix,state:arizona,   etc.

I want to add it to the post but I get back an error saying it's
missing the colon  .
my guess is that it thinks "mystring" is the first part of the named
pair.

I know "mystring"  is holding the correct information because I can
view it from the alert.

how can I place "mystring" into the post so it gets processed
correctly for the values it contains?


thanks
