Re: [OT?] formatting response text for AJAX widget

What about trying a different approach using JSON:

print qq{
{"componentId": "$componentId",
 "html": "<a href='#' onClick='javascript:makeForm( \"$componentId\", 
+\"$componentType\", \"$newTitle\");'>$newTitle</a>"}
};

Inside your JavaScript, use:

jsonText = eval( '(' request.responseText ')' );
$('override_' + jsonText.componentId).innerHTML = jsonText.html;

I haven't read up enough on JSON to use it, so for now, the nasty extra escapes will have to do. Regardless, thanks for the suggestion.	[reply]
