using jquery ajax POST method returning 500 error

The question is, why would you want to? Couldn't you use just plain javascript and/or PHP?

well the reason I would want to is becuase I would liek to query the server on a keyup function and display the results in a div and also check to make sure the model # entered is in the db without doing page refresh ...if you think this could be accomplished more simply by javascript and php please give a in detail description I would love to know. I also have got it figured out and it is working great.

You don't nedd AJAX for that, well not unless the site you are querying isn't the same site that you are making the query from.

.if you think this could be accomplished more simply by javascript and php please give a in detail description I would love to know.

The answer is contained in my line above.

I also have got it figured out and it is working great.

What did you do? Get rid of the AJAX call?

If not, I'm interested how you did solve the problem, because I do have a real need for this, in that the data I'm after is on a remote server who's permissions deny such access.
