POIssue with jQuery $.get in IE
text
Body
copied!<p>I have a login form which appears at the top of all of my pages when the user is logged out. My current jQuery/javascript code works in Firefox 3 but not IE 7. The code queries a page which simply returns the string "true" or "false" depending on whether the login was successful or not. Inside my $.ready() function call I have the following...</p> <pre><code>$('#login_form').submit(function() { var email = $('input#login_email').val(); var pw = $('input#login_password').val() $.get('/user/login.php', { login_email: email, login_password: pw }, function(data) { alert('get succeeded'); if(data == 'true') { $('#login_error').hide(); window.location = '/user/home.php'; alert('true'); } else { $('#login_error').show(); alert('false'); } }); alert('called'); return false; }); </code></pre> <p>In FF, I am successfully transferred to the intended page. In IE, however, the below alerts "called" and nothing else. When I refresh the page, I can see that I am logged in so the $.get call is clearly going through, but the callback function doesn't seem like its being called (ie. "get succeeded" is not popping up). I also don't appear to be getting any javascript error messages either.</p> <p>Why isn't this working in IE?</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Since a couple people asked, whenever I enter a correct email/password or an incorrect one, nothing in the callback function happens. If I manually refresh the page after entering a correct one, I am logged in. Otherwise, I am not.</p> <p><strong>EDIT 2:</strong> If I alert out <code>data</code> in the callback function nothing happens in IE (I do not get an alert popup). In FF, it alerts <code>true</code> for valid email/pw combos and <code>false</code> for invalid ones. I am using jQuery 1.3.2.</p> <p><strong>EDIT 3:</strong> Ok, guys, I tried R. Bemrose's thing down there and I'm getting a "parseerror" on the returned data. I'm simply echoing 'true' or 'false' from the other PHP script. I also tried 'yes' and 'no', but that still gave me a parse error. Also, this works in Chrome in addition to FF.</p>
