IE7 not digesting JSON: "parse error"
- by Kenny Leu
While trying to GET a JSON, my callback function is NOT firing.
$.ajax({ type:"GET",
dataType:'json',
url: myLocalURL,
data: myData,
success:
function(returned_data){alert('success');}
});
The strangest part of this is that
my JSON(s) validates on JSONlint
this ONLY fails on IE7...it works in Safari, Chrome, and all versions of Firefox. If I use 'error', then it reports "parseError"...even though it validates!
Is there anything that I'm missing? Does IE7 not process certain characters, data structures (my data doesn't have anything non-alphanumeric, but it DOES have nested JSONs)? I have used tons of other AJAX calls that all work (even in IE7), but with the exception of THIS call.
An example data return here is:
{"question":{
"question_id":"19",
"question_text":"testing",
"other_crap":"none"
},
"timestamp":{
"response":"answer",
"response_text":"the text here"
}
}
I am completely at a loss. Hopefully someone has some insight into what's going on...thank you!
