AJAX request path

[eluser]ptvw2011[/eluser]

Code:

function sendRequest() {
    new Ajax.Request(base_url + "test/deactivate/",
        {
            method: 'post',
            postBody: 'name='+ $F('da'),
            onComplete: showResponse
        });
}

can anyone see anything wrong this?

I have tried using the MVC approach and printing out the $_POST array in the deactivate method but unsuccessfully.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
