[jQuery] Re: issue with ajax function
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) On Jan 29, 6:50 pm, graphicsxp graphic...@googlemail.com wrote: Thanks..

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? 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' .

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?

[jQuery] Re: issue with ajax function
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.

[jQuery] Re: issue with ajax function
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.
