Re: [jQuery] How do I get the XML of an ajax request?

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Jake,

Thanks for the help. I changed my code to look like this and got things 
to work.

         $('#rgeo').bind('submit', function(){
             var xml = $.ajax({
                 url: "/rgeo/",
                 dataType: "xml",
                 async: false,
                 data: {
                     x: document.rgeo.x.value,
                     y: document.rgeo.y.value
                 }
             }).responseText;
             $("#response")[0].value = xml;
             return false;
         });

This should be better documented in the $.ajax() documentation.

Thanks,
-Steve
