Multiple lines in a Coffeescript function

I have the following Coffeescript:

$ ->
    $('#new_event').submit ->
        $.post(
            $(this).attr('action')
            $(this).serialize()
            (data, textStatus, jqXHR) ->
                $('#target').html(data)
        )
        return false

And it translates to this:

$(function() {
  return $('#new_event').submit(function() {
    $.post($(this).attr('action'), $(this).serialize(), function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
      return $('#target').html(data);
    });
    return false;
  });
});

So far so good. However, how do I add another line into the submit? For example:

$ ->
    $('#new_event').submit ->
        test = $(this).serialize()
        $.post(
            $(this).attr('action')
            $(this).serialize()
            (data, textStatus, jqXHR) ->
                $('#target').html(data)
        )
        return false

This gives unexpected INDENT error. Can't figure out what I'm missing here...

Thanks, Dany.

Most likely you mixed spaces and tabs for indentation. Coffeescript does not like that.

And, by the way, you can write @ instead of this.
