Unable to get jquery ajax working

[eluser]Thorpe Obazee[/eluser]
Do you have firebug installed? if you have firebug installed, it would be easy to see if you're pointing to a 404 page?

Anyway, you should have

Code:

$(document).ready(function(){
  $(”.button”).click(function(){
      $.post('<?php echo site_url('welcome/get_messages');?>’, {ajax:'true'},
      function(data){
          alert(data);
      }, ‘json’);
    });
});
