[jQuery] AJAX - ignore mime type

[the_woodsman]

Hi,

My ajax requests return xml, with the corresponding mime type.

I'm using $.get, as so:

        $.get(
                                                $(this).attr('href'),
                                                function(data, textStatus)
                                                {
                                                        
$('#requestArea').val(data);
                                                },
                                                'html' //type, correct?
                                        );

$('#requestArea').val(data) sets a text area to say [object
XMLDocument]

So it seems my setting the type to html does nothing!

I've played around with this a bit, including using other ajax methods
apart from .get(), with the same results.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance!
