[jQuery] Bug with AJAX json setting an element to a value and back to 0 when polling
I am using the AJAX class with the dataType set to json and cache off.
I am polling with the this class about every 2 minutes.
So here what I am doing to get the error and it is reproducible. I
have everything set really simply right now.
Here is the success function I am using:
function(data) {
alert(data.id);
}
It just set to alert so I can see what's going on.
Here is the first JSON data getting passed to it:
{"name":"","id":0}
And I get an alert that says 0. So far so good.
Next poll I get:
{"name":"test","id":22}
And I get an alert that says 22. Still fine.
Next poll I get:
{"name":"","id":0}
I get an alert of 22!? Which is wrong.
Next poll I get:
{"name":"test2","id":23}
And I get an alert that says 23. Ok back on track.
Next poll I get:
{"name":"","id":0}
I get an alert of 23!? Which is wrong again.
So for some reason if a value gets set to 0 it doesn't send back a
proper 0 it send back a previous value. I changed from json to text
to make sure the data was correct and it shows correctly on each
poll. So this appears to be a json only issue.
My guess is there is a not equal statement some where that is not
correct.
