Hi all,
I really love jQuery and am running into my first real issue with it,
regarding AJAX callbacks in Internet Explorer.
I have a Python script configured that returns a string of text that I
want to inject into an HTML page.
My AJAX call looks like this (reduced to essentials):
$.ajax( {
type:"GET",
url:"recents",
dataType:"text",
data:"x="+x+"&y="+y,
success: function(msg){ alert(msg); },
error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) { alert
( textStatus + "\n" + errorThrown);}
});
The Python script is configured to return text/plain. The code works
beautifully in every browser except IE.
For reference, the script looks like this (using mod_python with a
Publisher handler):
def recents( req, x, y ):
req.content_type = 'text/plain'
rtn = ""
for item in items.recents(x,y):
rtn += "<div class='item'>%s</div>" % item
return rtn
What am I missing? Something is obviously wrong since IE is unable to
parse the return value. But I am confused why IE would be attempting
to parse the data returned, since I am specifying plaintext? I don't
need an XML object created.
Many thanks for the help...
Chris
