Hi, I am trying to do a simple POST request using jQuery AJAX, but cant figure out whats wrong.

Here is the jQuery Function

  var url="{{ URL::action('LoginController@validateLogin') }}"
  
  $.post(url,{email:email, password:password},function(){
	  
	  
	  alert('Sucess');
	  
	  }).fail(function(){
		  alert('Fail');
		  
		  });
  

Here is the controller

class LoginController extends BaseController
{
	
public function validateLogin()
{
	
return Redirect::to('about');


	
}

	
}

and Here is the route

Route::post('Login','LoginController@validateLogin');

The function is called, when a button is clicked. I get the "Sucess" Alert but the page doesnot get redirected, also if in the controller file, I change the "about" to a page that does not exist, I get the "Fail" message...It means that the request do gets posted and it is a sucess, but I donnot get re-directed.

Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
