here is a sample of my xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<RootElement>
  <checkbox name="StaticPage" value="100"></checkbox>
  <checkbox name="FlashPage" value="200"></checkbox>
  <checkbox name="PhotoGalary" value="250"></checkbox>
  <checkbox name="CompletePackage" value="1000"></checkbox>
  <checkbox name="DiscountPAckage" value="800"></checkbox>
</RootElement>

Are you getting any output from your POST request? I would use this to load the XML:

$.get("test.php", function(data) {
  alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
});

Try making the script alert() at every stage to see what it returns and where it dies. That's how I (pathetically, but systematically) debug my JS.

its rather embarrassing ...

i changed

type: "POST"

to

type: "GET"

problem solved ... tnx everybody
