I have an issue where I executing an AJAX request. Instead of seeing the normal POST or GET preceeding the action page url, I see OPTIONS. The data is successfully posted, but there is no response from the action page. What does OPTIONS indicate?

This is due to a cross-domain AJAX attempt. Sometimes something as harmless-looking as requesting h ttp://www.example.com from h ttp://example.com can cause unexpected behavior.

"The OPTIONS method represents a request for information about the communication options available on the request/response chain identified by the Request-URI. This method allows the client to determine the options and/or requirements associated with a resource, or the capabilities of a server, without implying a resource action or initiating a resource retrieval."
