Hi Tom,
I think you are missing dataType = 'html' ... The manual says "If none
is specified, jQuery will intelligently pass either responseXML or
responseText to your success callback, based on the MIME type of the
response." I suspect it's intelligently guessing wrong.
This is a much easier way to do what you're trying to do:
$('#ccol24').load('addLinks.php',{ url: url, title: title });
If you need a further 'success' callback, you can add one as the third
argument.
The only drawback to that shortcut is that you can't set an error callback.
Hope that helps.
