title: Difference between $.post and $.ajax?
body: <p>Curious if anyone knows what the difference is in regards to the data parameter.</p>
  
  <p>I have a <code>$.post</code> method that takes a <code>$('#myform').serialize()</code> as my data param and works.</p>
  
  <p>If I try the same using the <code>$.ajax()</code> approach, it doesn't work as my data param doesn't appear correct.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know the difference and what I might use instead of the above <code>.serialize</code>? </p>
