Cannot use data returned from controller via ajax - El Forum - 02-12-2011

Here is my view
Code:
<select name="producttypecode" id="producttypecode">
<option value="GA02">GA027</option>
<option value="GA04">GA047</option>
</select>
<div id='product' name='product'>test</div>
< script language="JavaScript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#producttypecode').change(function() {
var producttypecode = $(this).val();
$.post('index.php/product/productlist',
{'producttypecode': producttypecode},
function (data){
alert (data);
//$('#product').replaceWith(data.result);
}, 'json');
});
});
</ script>Here is my "product" controller
Code:
// for ajax request
function productlist(){
$producttypecode = trim($this->input->post('producttypecode'));
$productSearch = array('TYPE_CODE' => $producttypecode);
$productlist = $this->Product_model->getProduct($productSearch);
echo 'processed';
//echo json_encode($productlist);
}In Firebug/NET, there's already the response of 'processed'. However, I cannot alert or use 'replaceWith' with the data returned. Is there any mistake here?
Thank you in advance!

Your data should be json encoded before sending it to Ajax.

Since you've told jQuery to look for a json string in return, just returning 'processed' will not work. It has to be a json encoded string.
And you can also not just alert an object (the data variable is an object not a simple string variable).
if you want to test the returned string as it is above, remove the ",json" from the $.post function. then you can alert data and you will see "processed"

Tip: Use console.log() while using Firebug instead of alert()
This also gives you the content of the object while debugging.

Thank you all for json encoded and console.log(). I've received more than what I expected from my first question here
