[jQuery] Re: issue with ajax function

2009-01-30 Thread Beres Botond

A parameter has to be key=value, in some form, otherwise how is it
identified?

contentType: application/json; charset=utf-8,

This should only be set if your webservice expects the input parameter
in JSON format as well, and not only the response is JSON.
Is this the case?

How does the code of your webservice look like? (the part which gets
the input parameter)

Is this the case?

Yes, I thought that too. I've removed the contentType parameter. In
this case the webservice is reached.
But when the AJAX call returns I get the error 'parseerror' .

The webservice method looks like :


 [WebMethod]
public string GetPublication(String pText) {
  String result = ;

  result = @{results: [
{
id: 4,
value: guardian.co.uk
}
]};

  return result;
}

So the AJAX call actually returns some result now?

If you alert() the result, before trying to do anything with it, what
do you get?

Well the reponseText property of the XHR object contains :

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
string xmlns=http://tempuri.org/;{results: [
{
id: 4,
value: guardian.co.uk
}
]}/string


that's what the webservice returns. Since dataType of my jquery ajax
method is set to 'json', this should be interpreted as json data.

2009-01-30 Thread Beres Botond

Yes, jquery tries to interpret it as JSON data, but that is XML and
not JSON, thus the 'parserror'.
XML that contains JSON in its string node.

You should set your datatype to xml, but even then I'm not sure if
that will work quite well.
In best case you can extract the value of xml string node as a STRING,
and then you'll have to parse/interpret that to
JSON yourself. (http://json.org/js.html)

I'd say, you better decide if you want to use XML or JSON, and not
both.
