  1. POActing on a boolean value in an Ajax jQuery call in ASP.NET
    text
    copied!<p>i have the following jQuery function in my project</p> <pre><code>$.ajax({ url: "WebServices/BrowserType.asmx/IsIE", contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", dataType: "text", type: "POST", data: {}, success: function (msg) { If(msg.d== 'false') { $("#Test2").html(msg); } }, error: function (err) { alert("Error" + err.toString()); } }); </code></pre> <p>What i intend to do is to get a boolean value from my webservice and then act on the result on my jquery success option.</p> <p>I had tried the following:</p> <ul> <li><p>I set the dataType to boolean (of course, i changed my method return type to bool) and in the success function of the jquery, i had</p> <pre><code>success:function(){if (msg.d){$("#Test2").html(msg);}} </code></pre></li> </ul> <p>but an error was thrown. (Object. That's the error.)</p> <ul> <li>I tried setting the dataType to <strong>text</strong> (this time i changed my method return type to string) and in the success function of the jquery, i did it as in the above main code. This time there was no error but the success function seems not to work. However, when i removed the <strong>If</strong> statement from the above code, the success code worked. </li> </ul> <p>Please how do i go about this. I had tried what i know. I intend to act on a boolean value. My web service returns either true or false and i want to act on the boolean value returned. The issue is how can i determine if the value returned is true or false in the success function of my ajax? </p> <p>Your contribution is highly appreciated. I have edited this post to make it clearer.</p>
