$.post not firing
<p>I have some script like this:</p>

<pre><code>$("#button").click(function () {
 alert("before");
    $.post("doAction.aspx?id=hotel", {},
         function (response) {

             });
           alert("after");
       return false;
       });
</code></pre>

<p>the <code>$.post</code> is not firing. I really don't know what the error is. I used the same script elsewhere and it worked fine. pls help out.</p>
