Why Is my json-object from AJAX not understood by javascript, even with 'json' dataType?
- by pete
My js code simply gets a json object from my server, but I think it should be automatically parsed and turned into an object with properties, yet it's not allowing access properly.
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/misc/json-sample.js',
data: {href: path}, // THIS IS THE POST DATA THAT IS PASSED IN TO THE DRUPAL MENU CALL TO GET THE MENU...
dataType: 'json',
success: function (datax) {
if (datax.debug) {
alert('Debug data: ' + datax.debug);
} else {
alert('No debug data: ' + datax.toSource() ) ;
}
The /misc/json-sample.js file is: [ { "path": "examplemodule/parent1/child1/grandchild1", "title": "First grandchild option", "children": false } ]
(I have also been trying to return that object from drupal as follows, and the same results.)
Drupal version of misc/json-sample.js:
$items[] = array(
'path' = 'examplemodule/parent1/child1/grandchild1',
'title' = t('First grandchild option'),
'debug' = t('debug me!'),
'children' = FALSE
);
print drupal_to_js($items);
What happens (in FF, which has the toSource() capability) is the alert with 'No debug data: [ { "path": "examplemodule/parent1/child1/grandchild1", "title": "First grandchild option", "children": false } ]
Thanks
