Using Jquery to post single variable
<p>using jquery to post a value to php file but the value is not being posted (COMPANY_NAME). Code below works for multiple values but not when it's changed to post single values? Any tips?</p>

<pre><code>$(function() {
    $( "#dialog:ui-dialog" ).dialog( "destroy" );

    var COMPANY_NAME = $( "#COMPANY_NAME" ),
        allFields = $( [] ).add( COMPANY_NAME ),
        tips = $( ".validateTips" );

$( "#dialog-form5" ).dialog({
        autoOpen: false,
        height: 200,
        width: 350,
        modal: true,
        buttons: {
            "ok": function() {
                var bValid = true;
                allFields.removeClass( "ui-state-error" );

                if ( bValid ) {
                    $.post("setCompany.php", {
                                                    COMPANY_NAME:$(this).val()
                     }, function(data) {
                                                    if(data=='no')
                                                    {    $("#msgbox").fadeTo(200,0.1,function()
                                                                 {
