    copied!<p>I have a javascript / jquery function which is supposed to replace a row in a table with an "Edit Mode" version of the same row. it fires on the onclick event of a button on the row and a simplified verion of the code would be:</p> <pre><code>function EditRow(itemID) { editable_row = getUrl('row.php?action=' + 'edit' + '&amp;itemID=' + itemID ); $('[row_itemID=' + itemID + ']').html(editable_row); } </code></pre> <p>(...row_itemID is an attribute of the TR tag for the row... as in [tr row_itemID="27"])</p> <pre><code>function getUrl(addr) { var r = $.ajax({ type: 'GET', url: addr, async: false, dataType: "text" }).responseText; return r; } </code></pre> <p>(i have alse tried setting "dataType:" to 'html' or leaving it out altogether)</p> <p>row.php should return the "Edit Mode" version of the contents of the row but for some reason the TD tags appear to get stripped in the process, maybe the $.ajax() function consideres a response containing TD 's without TR 's invalid.</p> <p>A view-source of <code>row.php?action=edit&amp;itemID=27</code> displays the TD 's and so does <code>alert(editable_row);</code>, but <code>alert($('[row_itemID=27]').html());</code> doesn't.</p> <p>A simplified version of row.php code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if ($_GET['action'] == 'edit') { $item = ItemDataAccess::Read($_GET['itemID']); ?&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="text" name="itemID" value="&lt;?php echo $item-&gt;itemID ?&gt;" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="text" name="name" value="&lt;?php echo $item-&gt;name ?&gt;" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="text" name="description" value="&lt;?php echo $item-&gt;description ?&gt;" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;?php } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>Does anyone now how to get it to insert an unadulterated html response into the TR tag?</p>
