Rails jquery ajax request not firing

In the view:

<div>
  <%= radio_button_tag :profile_set, "Profile picture", true, onClick: "set_profile(#{picturething.id});" %>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
  function set_profile(picid) {
    alert("Hello.");
    $.ajax({
      type     : 'POST',
      url      : '/update_profile_picture', 
      dataType : 'script',
      data     :  { picid:picid, callsign:callsign, page_name:page_name }
    });
    alert("Goodbye.");
  };
</script>

routes.rb:

post 'update_profile_picture', to: 'picturethings#update_profile', as: :update_profile_picture

I can see from the browser console that the ajax request is not firing, nothing happens. The "Hello" alert appears, so the code is executing at least that far, but falls over during the ajax bit. The "Goodbye" alert never appears.

As per my comment in the question, your ajax looks fine... Just make sure you have defined page_name and callsign:

function set_profile(picid) {
  alert("Hello.");
  $.ajax({
    type     : 'POST',
    url      : '/update_profile_picture', 
    dataType : 'script',
    data     :  { picid:picid, callsign:callsign, page_name:page_name }
  });
  alert("Goodbye.");
};
