title: JQuery AJAX syntax
body: <p>I am trying to find the correct syntax to pass a varible to my JQuery Post.</p>
  
  <pre><code>var id = empid;
  
  $.ajax({
      type: "POST",
      url: "../Webservices/EmployeeService.asmx/GetEmployeeOrders",
      data: "{empid: empid}",
      contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
      dataType: "json",
      success: function(result) {
          alert(result.d);
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't think the data: value is quite right. Someone set me straight?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
