[jQuery] JSON response is null, but the URL is echoing correctly.
- by b. e. hollenbeck
I have a form being AJAX'd in by jQuery on a page with multiple forms. I'm performing the following function, which is a wrapper for the $.ajax function:
function do_json_get(uri){
var ret = '';
var url = AJAX_URL + uri;
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: url,
async: false,
success: function(data) {
ret = data.html;
},
dataType: 'json'
});
return ret;
}
When I go to the AJAX server directly (which is rendering the form in PHP), I get the raw JSON response - so I know the server is outputting to the browser, and the AJAX server is doing other things like setting the proper cookies, so I know that the connection is good (I get a 200 response code). Yet the data object is coming back null.
What else could I be missing?
