Can't figure out jQuery ajax call parameters
- by chad larson
I am learning jQuery and trying the following but the parameters are so foreign to me with all the embedded quotes I think that is my problem. Can someone explain the parameters and where quotes go and possibly rewrite my parameters line? (This is a live site to see the required parms).
function AirportInfo() {
var divToBeWorkedOn = '#detail';
var webMethod = "'http://ws.geonames.org/citiesJSON'";
var parameters = "{'north':'44.1','south':'9.9','east':'22.4','west':'55.2','lang':'de'}";
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: webMethod,
data: parameters,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function(msg) {
alert(msg.d);
$(divToBeWorkedOn).html(msg.d);
},
error: function(xhr) {
alert(xhr);
alert(xhr.statusText);
alert(xhr.responseText);
$(divToBeWorkedOn).html("Unavailable");
}
});
}
