Try changing the url: to the full url. It is likely failing because you are posting to a webpage that doesn't exist and therefore won't respond.

Chrome has a web developer's extension installed by default that is pretty good. You can simply right-click on your webpage and left-click on Inspect Element. In the console tab you can watch the javascript requests, but it is not as detailed nor intuitive as Firebug. Personally, I browse with Chrome, but I develop with Firefox. Firebug really is invaluable for webdev.
