Ajax type GET with data

Having trouble getting success from this...

<!-- Ajax -->
<script type="text/javascript">
$('a.clickup').click(function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
    type: 'get',
    url: "actions.php",
    data: "action=10&moveMe=<?php echo $row_rsChkOptions['chkID'] ?>&startPos=<?php echo $row_rsChkOptions['orderID'] ?>&parentCategory=<?php echo $row_rsChkOptions['categoryID'] ?>&chklistID=<?php echo $row_rsChkOptions['chklistID'] ?>"
    success: function (data) {
            alert('success');
}
});
</script>

Normally, when I would just want the page to reload, I would set the href to:

actions.php?action=10&moveMe=<?php echo $row_rsChkOptions['chkID'] ?>&startPos=<?php echo $row_rsChkOptions['orderID'] ?>&parentCategory=<?php echo $row_rsChkOptions['categoryID'] ?>&chklistID=<?php echo $row_rsChkOptions['chklistID'] ?>
});

What am I doing wrong here? I am not getting my success alert.

One problem could be that you have not wrapped your code in a jQuery load function, such as this:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
    $('a.clickup').click(function (event) {
        event.preventDefault();
        var data = "action=10&moveMe=<?php echo $row_rsChkOptions['chkID'] ?>&startPos=<?php echo $row_rsChkOptions['orderID'] ?>&parentCategory=<?php echo $row_rsChkOptions['categoryID'] ?>&chklistID=<?php echo $row_rsChkOptions['chklistID'] ?>";
        $.get("actions.php", data, function (data) {
            alert('success');
        });
    });
});
</script>

This reason I suggest this is that trying to apply a click function handler on a DOM element when the DOM element hasn't fully loaded by the browser can cause problems. Wrapping your code in a jQuery load function such as this will take care of that problem if that is indeed what is happening. I also took the liberty of rewriting your $.ajax function call to make it a little easier on the eyes. But that is purely subjective!!
