Does anyone see anything wrong with the following:

$.ajax({
    url: '/tags/ajax/post-tag/',
    data: { newtaginput : $('#tag-input').val(), customerid : $('#customerid').val()},
    success: function(data) {
        // After posting
        alert(data);
        arr = data.tagsinserted.split(',');
        alert(arr);
        //Loop through
        $.each(arr, function(n, val){
            alert(n + ' ' + val)
        }); 
    }
}, "json"); 

tagsinserted is what's being returned, here is the full response:

{"returnmessage":"The Ajax operation was successful.","tagsinserted":"b7,b4,dog,cat","returncode":"0"}

Thanks
