I'll bet "this" is not what you expect. What is all the "this" usage for? It
doesn't look like you are creating an object, or are
you? I don't see the calling code - do you call "new jDemon" or just "jDemon()"?
login, getAllCustomers, and getAllCustomersSuccess are methods of... what?
For example:
success: this.getAllCustomers
When getAllCustomers() gets called, it won't be called as a method of that
particular "this" object
Can you write the code without all the "this" stuff? (Use "this" inside the
.each callback, of course, I'm talking about the other
"this" methods.) It may be a lot easier to get it working that way.
Do you have a link to a test page?
