Uploading an image to server with phonegap (w/jquery ajax)

I am trying to put together a small phonegap app to upload images to a collaboration site. I have looked over tutorial and API. So far I have the image captured but I am stuck on getting it to the server. I was hoping to use jquery for ajax it over. My jquery seems to stop the image capture btn working, when I take it out the btn works and captures an image. Is there another way other than jquery I can do this or I am just being a plonker and missing something? I am very new to phonegap.

$(document).ready(function()

function capturePhoto()
// Take picture using device camera and retrieve image as base64-encoded string
navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoDataSuccess, onFail, quality: 50 );




function onFail(message)
alert('Failed because: ' + message);


function onPhotoDataSuccess(imageData)

var url = 'http://www.creativetree.co/phonegapupload.php';
var params = image: imageData;
navigator.notification.alert('photo taken');


$.post(url, params, function(data)

// Display the selected image on send complete
$('#image').attr('src', 'data:image/jpeg;base64,' + params['image']);

);


);

The phonegap api has an example of this: http://docs.phonegap.com/en/1.5.0/phonegap_file_file.md.html#FileTransfer

posting an image as base64 via ajax is fine, I have done it in apps several times.
However, the tricky part may be encoding/decoding and making sure the php processes it correctly. Make sure the PHP doesn't expect an actual image (binary).
