Yii Jquery AJAX Call not firing
===

I have been researching and trying to learn the proper method to accomplish this. I have done the following but, I still have no change on my form. Is there anyway to see if the ajax call is even being made? Could anyone correct this code to figure out why I am not getting any change on the field in my form.

In my model I have the following function

         public function standardRate($country) 
        { 
         
        $country_std_rate = Yii::app()->db->createCommand()       
           ->select('AVG(rate_syr_mh)')       
           ->from('packaging_metrics')       
           ->where(array('like', 'country', '%'.$country.'%'))    
           ->queryRow();    
             
                echo CJSON::encode($country_std_rate);  
 
        }    



In my controller I have added this function as well as added 'countryRate' to my access control for all

    public function countryRate() 
        { 
                $input_country = $_POST['country']; 
                 
                $model = PackagingMetric::model()->standardRate($input_country); 
                echo CJSON::encode($model);  
                 
                Yii::app()->end(); 
 
                $this->render('countryRate',array( 
                        'model'=>$model, 
                )); 
         
        }


             


This is my Jquery call in my form

      $('#PackagingMetric_std_rate').live('click',function() 
        {  
         
     var country =  $('#country').val();  
          
           $.ajax({  
                   type: 'POST',  
                   url: 'PackagingMetric/countryRate',  
                   data: {country:country},  
                        
                               success: function(data)  
                                   {                                                      
  
                    $('#PackagingMetric_std_rate').html(data); 
  
                   } 
                                    
                                   }); 
 
                 });




However, nothing on my form changes with a value, I am using Yii-Debug-toolbar and not seeing any POST calls or any sql queries upon clicking the appropriate field on my form.
