Answer 1

type (default: 'GET') Type: String An alias for method. You should use type if you're using versions of jQuery prior to 1.9.0.

Answer 4

In the code you provided, there doesn't seem to be any issue with the usage of the method property in the $.ajax function. However, there is redundancy in specifying both type and method properties with the same value ("POST").

The method property is an alias for the type property in the $.ajax function, so specifying both properties with the same value is unnecessary. You can remove either type or method from your code, and it will still work correctly. Here's an example:

$.ajax({
  url: "controller.php",
  method: "POST",
  dataType: "JSON",
});

or

$.ajax({
  url: "controller.php",
  type: "POST",
  dataType: "JSON",
});
