Phonegap Ajax Post to PHP live server not posting through IOS - html

Question

I see there are several posts on this issue, however none of the answers are very clear or are working for me. I have a simple JQuery Post that works great in a browser, but doesn't post to the PHP page on the server through the native app on IOS. Is there a handler I can add to make it work or is it a whitelist issue? Either way is there a good resource or simple instructions to fix the issue? See my code below.
$(function() {
$('#RFQ, #sQuote, #sQuote1, #sQuote2, #sQuote3').submit(function() {
$.ajax({
url: this.action,
type: this.method,
data: $(this).serialize(),
success: function(data) {
$('#RFQ, #sQuote, #sQuote1, #sQuote2, #sQuote3').html( $("#formResponse").html() );
}
});
return false;
});
});

Make sure you modified your file Cordova.plist correctly to allow external access.
Open your file Cordova.plist and check that you made the following:
1 - Set OpenAllWhitelistURLsInWebView to YES
2 - Right click on ExternalHosts -> Add Row
3 - Set the String value of your new added row to *, so you should have your new line look like this:
Item0 String *
Normally, you would replace * with the external URL you want provide access to. But, to make sure that the problem really comes from the whitelist, we will use *.
For more information about domain whitelist, check the online doc: http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.1.0/guide_whitelist_index.md.html#Domain%20Whitelist%20Guide
Hope this helps.
Let me know if this works for after modifying your Cordova.plist file as described above.
