I have this code and it won't work unless I pass a constant to data. What am I doing wrong?

function onMapClick(e) {
  $.ajax({
    url: "/temps",
    type: "POST",
    data: {coordinates: e.latlng},
    success: function(response) {
      // map.openPopup("hello", e.latlon);
      alert(e.latlng.lat);
      // return response;
    }
  });
};

    It sounds like e.latlng doesn't exist. What happens when you console.log(e.latlng) before doing the $.ajax()? Commented Nov 22, 2014 at 18:56
  • No, it exists, because when I put data: 123, then this alert(e.latlng.lat) gives some coordinates, so I know it exists... Commented Nov 22, 2014 at 19:46

Try using toJSON to turn the data into a json string, then when you receive it in your ruby code you can use JSON.parse(data)
