I'm creating a simple AJAX request which returns some data from a database. Here's my function below:
function AJAXrequest(url, postedData, callback) {
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: url,
data: postedData,
dataType: 'json',
success: callback
});
}
Here's where I call it, providing the required parameters:
AJAXrequest('voting.ajax.php', imageData, function(data) {
// function body
});
Yet, the callback does not run, and instead I get an error in the console:
TypeError: $.ajax(...) is not a function.
Why? I've done AJAX requests before where the success event triggers an anonymous function inside of $.ajax, but now I'm trying to run a separately-named function. How do I go about this?

Neither of the answers here helped me. The problem was: I was using the slim build of jQuery, which had some things removed, ajax being one of them.
The solution: Just download the regular (compressed or not) version of jQuery here and include it in your project.
