[jQuery] Custom JSON sanitizing during $.ajax

[jQuery] Custom JSON sanitizing during $.ajax


Hello All,
I am trying to complete an Ajax request in which PHP returns a JSON-
formed string. One of the variables inside the JSON object contains a
path, which contains backslashes. This seems to cause a problem
because nothing in the success function seems to run. So, I tried
cleaning the data using dataFilter, but cannot seem to get that to
work either. Anybody have any insight on how to accomplish this?
CODE:
$.ajax({
async: false,
type: "POST",
url: ajaxHandler,
dataType: "json",
data: "action=getInformation&id=" + id,
        dataFilter: function(data,type) {
data.replace(/\\/g,"\\\\");
            return data;
        },
success: function(return){
objInformation = return.detail[0];
}
});
