Z: thanks for the response. I'm making my initial foray into using jQuery
for AJAX (up 'til now, had only used it for page manipulations).
Given your response... would there ever be a situation where .getJSON()
would be preferable to .ajax()? It seems odd that jQuery would have 2
methods that essentially do the same thing. Especially if one is near
impossible to debug.
Thanks,
Charlie

I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my
wife. And I wish you my kind of success.
