Jquery post, test return data

This is mostly from the Jquery post example from the jquery site.
My goal is to send the login to the site, see what the results are.
if the results are what I want
I will post the data again and let it be redirected to the correct site.

First, I can not tell if it is even firing, I put a alert in the data but it did
not fire,
I would like to see the resuts and then be able to test some of the data.

Can someone see what I may have done wrong here ,and tell me how to
get the resulting and move forward.

    var $form = $( this ),

    /* Send the data using post and put the results in a div */ 
    $.post( url, { username: username , password:password, institution:institution  },
