Return values from CI controllers to Javacript (jQuery)

That is the expected behaviour. By default if you dont set the dataType, you just get the whole output tot the msg variable. Anyways, you should set the url with CI's url functions. You never know if you have to move the script elsewhere. I myself prefer using site_url function instead of base_url():

Code:

url : "<?php echo site_url('ajax/form') ?>",
