    Hi guys, I'm trying to create an ajax login for a website. I have found this tutorial http://bit.ly/1jdvMp7 and tried to follow as close as possible. From what I understand from the above link, when I submit a form, the jQuery validates the inputs and if successful, posts the form to a blank (empty) resource which calls the Login Snippet.

    I am having a problem with the Login Snippet call. The jQuery is calling the blank resource but the Login snippet is not responding. Below is my code. Can anyone indicate where I'm going wrong?

    My Form
    <div class="formholder formholder_pos">
    			<div class="heading"><h3>My Login</h3></div>
    			<div class="loginMessage">[[+errors]]</div>
                <!-- contact form -->  
    			<p>Please log in below to access your Customer Account.</p>			
                <form action="[[~[[*id]]]]" method="post" id="contactForm" class="clearfix my_ajax_form">
    
                    <div class="rowcol">
                    	<div class="col2">
    	                    <div class="inputsect">
    	                        <label class="label_title" id="popup_username">[[%login.username]]:</label>
    	                        <input type="text" name="username" id="username" class="inputField required loginusername" value="">
    	                    </div>                                                          
    	                    
    					</div>	                    
    	                                       
    	                <div class="col2">
    	                    <div class="inputsect">
    	                        <label class="label_title" id="popup_password">[[%login.password]]:</label>
    	                        <input type="password" name="password" id="password" class="inputField required loginpassword" value="">

    					</div>	
    
                    </div>
                    <input class="returnUrl" type="hidden" name="returnUrl" value="[[+request_uri]]" />
    				[[+login.recaptcha_html]]
    				<input class="loginLoginValue" type="hidden" name="service" value="login" />
    
                    <div class="rowcol">

    My 1st Empty Resource
    <script>alert("I reached here");</script>
    [[!Login? &tplType=`modChunk` &loginResourceId=`495`]]


    My 2nd Empty Resource (success)
    <script>alert("I reached here too");</script>
    {"redirect":"[[++site_url]][[~1]]"}
