Is there a reason you can't use the standard js or jquery ajax calls? Then
you can build your own data structures easily and see exactly what is going
where. I found things easier to debug that way.
The only time I use the web2py one is when I want to send a web2py form
back to the controller. It handles that elegantly.
But you are not using a web2py form I don't think.
