[jQuery] $.getScript fatal error with XML.
I posted about this before, but the response didn't help - so I
thought I'd try posting again.
I have a function that's putting together a GET request and sending it
off with $.getScript to retrieve an XML file. When I get the response
back, Javascript throws an exception: missing ; before statement. I
take that to mean that jQuery is handling the XML like a Javascript
file. But the response is there! I can't get this to work with $.get
- it just hasn't worked. So what I'm wondering is if I can work
around this exception, or find some other way to get at the response.
Here's my code:
if(hasError == false) {
$('#login').hide('slow');
var getURL = "http://***.com/app/xml.pl?Email=" + emailVal +
"&Password=" + passVal;
try {
$.getScript(getURL, function(xml){
getXML(xml);
});
}
catch (e){
console.log(e);
}
}
If someone can explain how I can get $.get to work, I'd take that as a
positive step, too.
