Thank Mike, That was a help. Thought I was going crazy there for a while. The problem with working with ajax in a new language is that you never know what part of the transaction is problematic.
I have set up an example with ajaxForm and have it working fine with json. However, is there something specifically on the server side (php) I should do if I am wanting to pass html back? I can't just use a bunch of echo lines can I? I don't get anything back when I do that. I have to build a response into a variable and send that (careful not to have any " in there) back as jason. I can't seem to reproduce the server php code needed to reply back to the sample at : http://malsup.com/jquery/form/#code-samples On Sep 16, 11:53 am, Mike Alsup <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi.
