JQuey & Form Validation

[eluser]jstine[/eluser]
Thanks for helping with this.

Using firebug the response I get from the post is as follows:

{"result":"error","msg":""}

It looks like no error message is being generated.

My javascript looks like this:

Code:

function createAccount()
{
    var user_first = $("input#su_first_name").val();
    var user_last = $("input#su_last_name").val();
    var user_email = $("input#su_user_email").val();
    var user_pass = $("input#su_user_pass").val();
    var user_confirm = $("input#su_confirm_pass").val();
    $.ajax({
          type: "POST",
          url: "<?=base_url()?>my_codeigniter_fuction",
          data: ({'su_first_name':user_first,'su_last_name':user_last,'su_user_email':user_email,'su_user_pass':user_pass,'su_confirm_pass':user_confirm}),
          dataType:'json',
          success: function(object) {
                if(object.result=='error'){
                    alert(object.msg);//shows the validation errors.
            }
          }
        });
}
