[jQuery] Return Query Results From $.ajax POST

[sdtacoma]

Is it possible to return Query results from a jquery $.ajax POST call?
It seems as though it will only return one value. What am I missing?


var formval = { preceptname:$(this) .val()};
$.ajax({
          type: "POST",
          url: "request_processor.cfm",
          dataType: "text",
          data: formval,
          success: function(response){
                $('#contentdiv').fadeIn(2000).html(response);
                        }
                });
        });
