jQuery ajax jsonp发布请求

Question

I'm attempting to post form field results to a rest API located on another domain in the form of jsonp via ajax request. While this DOES work and the api receives the data I'm sending, chrome's network is showing this request as get rather than post, and chrome's console is firing the error function rather than success.

consider:

-insert generic html form-

$("form#email_signup").submit(function(e){
    e.preventDefault();

    var optionID = $('input[name=gender]:checked').val();
        emailID = $('#emailsignup').val();

    $.ajax({
    url: 'rest api',
    type: 'POST',
    data: {"type":"mergeListMembers","source":"signupForm","EMAIL_ADDRESS_":emailID, "GENDER":optionID, "EMAIL_PERMISSION_STATUS_":"I"},
    dataType: 'jsonp',
        success: function(){
          console.log('success!')
        },
        error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
            console.log('error!')
        }
    });
    alert('Thanks for signing up!');
});

Am I understanding this correctly? Am I missing something?

Thanks, Myles

Im pretty sure you cannot use POST in cross-domain . Change to GET
