Does anyone know why this doesn't work? any help would be appreciated.

This is the HTML

Enter Code:<br/><input type="text" name="code" id="code"/><br/> 
<input type="button" id="confirm" value="Confirm" onClick="confirm()"/>

This is the PHP (basically gets the value of the user input and if it's equal to the variable a echo sucess)

$code = $_POST["code"]; 
$a = 105678; 
if($code==$a){ 
  echo "sucess"; 
} else { 
  echo "nosucces"; 
}

The JavaScript (simple ajax code to alert yay on PHP sucess or nay on no sucess)

function confirm () { 
  $.post(
    "confirm.php",
    {code:$(this).val() },
    function(data) { 
      if(data=='sucess') { 
        alert("yay"); 
      } else { 
        alert("nay");
      } 
    }
  ); 
}

basically on all occasions the ouput is nay on further debugging i tried an elseif statement on the javascript asking if data is equal to nosucces but it didn't even alert anything, meaning it's not getting the data from the php

    Please when asking a programming question, never describe the problem as "doesn't work". Please describe exactly what goes wrong how, and what errors you get in the browser console (if any). Thanks! Commented Sep 23, 2011 at 9:22

    $(document).ready(function() {
    $('#confirm').click(function() {
        $.post("",{code:$('#code').val() } ,function(data)
        {
            if(data=='sucess')
            {
                alert("yay");
            }
            else
            {alert("nay");}
        });
    });
});
