Webpy with jQuery for AJAX

[Dexter]

Hi

Have been trying to implement some AJAX using jQuery.
Have referred to this for some directions
http://kooneiform.wordpress.com/2010/02/28/python-and-ajax-for-beginners-with-webpy-and-jquery/

Basically what I want to do is as a proof of concept is receive some
data from a server and display it on a page.


Server side file simply returns "Ajax Data" when called with POST

code.py
-----------------------------

class tabs:
def POST(self,*args):
return "Ajax Data"
--------------------------------------------------------


Client Side - The code below should receive "Ajax Data" text from
server after clicking #button and display it in sandbox area which is
a div
--------------------------------------------------------
jQuery("#button").click(function() {
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
data: 'dummy'
success: function(data) {
alert(data); /*Debugging Statement*/
jQuery('#sandbox').html(data);
},
});
return false;
});

However nothing happens. When I added an alert to see what is being
returned. The alert Box displays
[object XMLDocument] while I was expecting a string.

What did I do wrong ?

Solved.
Firefox was treating the reply as XML
Added web.header("Content-Type", "text/plain")
and issue gone :)

Very nice article.
I always wondered how to make a user application with web interface,
and it's just webbrowser module!
There's one misprint where you refer to num as sum: "... while sum is
generated with JavaScript's random number generator ...".

PS.

I've just read you're Bruce Eckel who wrote "Thinking in C++". It was
very nice, I started with it! I must say it's the only book I've read
most completely about C++ :)
I also remember reading "Thinking in Java" when I had a course about
Java if I'm not mistaken.
