Hi,
First time poster, here.
I am trying to create a SharePoint 2007 .aspx feedback form on a page on the same site where the list (Issues) I want to submit to exists. I'm trying to use Lists.asmx web service, UpdateListItems, to post to the Issues list. The page looks great...the problem is, it doesn't work. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?
Thanks, ~R
Below is the code for the entire page:

This page demonstrates how to integrate a unobtrusive user feedback mechanism into your web application that leverages simple Windows SharePoint Services issue lists. This example uses a basic SharePoint issue list and AJAX programming to allow the user to provide feedback about the application without disrupting their work.

Why doesn't this web service call post to the list?
