why does jquery not post correctly with codeigniter?

I'm trying to post a variable to my php handler page, that tells php to ether add a certain form field's data to the database or not, but for some reason my post function will not post any thing. I am using the codeigniter framework, for the php side of things and jquery for the JavaScript side of things. I am thinking it may have to do with the URL I'm passing as the page to post to sense it's not a .php page or something like that, but I'm not sure. any help would be greatly appreciated.

          $('form').submit(function() {
                if(new_gal) {
                    if(name_valid && description_valid && gal_name_valid && gal_description_valid) {
                    // return the new gal info to php
                      $.post('http://localhost/index.php/site/photoUploader', {NewGallerry: 'TRUE'}); 

                    return true;   
                }   else { 
                        return false;
                    } 
                } else if (name_valid && description_valid)
                {
                    // return the id of the gal to php and tell php not to add the info in the new gal section.

                   return true;    
                } else {
                    return false; 
                }

thank you so much to any one who spends the time attempting to answer this.

try :

{'NewGallerry': FALSE}

instead of :

{NewGallerry: 'FALSE'}

anyway firebug console always helps you with ajax ;)

Your code uses localhost. Change it to your website. Javascript is executed solely on the client, not the server.
