Yes the issue is the meta tag. Having done a lot of Dojo work and also creating http://CFJsonService.riaforge.org I found that you can't evaluate a json object if there is something there that is not json expected.
Your only bet is to modify the call, where it does the http request within spry, and do something like this. var strTest = http.responseText; strTest = strTest.replace(/(<\/?META[^>]*>)/gi,''); Which removes the meta tag.

When I call the service via Spry, I get an error from SpryDebug.js: "Caught exception in JSONDataSet.loadDataIntoDataSet: SyntaxError: missing } in XML expression" What's confusing is that if I call the service myself, copy the contents into a .js file, and then have Spry call straight from that .js file, it works just fine! Here's the JSON my Service returns, if that helps: { "recordcount":3, "columnlist":"categoryid,matchid,name", "data": { "categoryid":[3,3,3], "matchid":[1,2,3], "name":["some dude","random guy","joe schmoe"] } } My service code (condensed) is pretty basic. I pass in a Query object (results) and tell CFJSON to format it as a query: <!--- transform the result into JSON ---> <cfset results = Variables.jsonCFC.encode( data = results, queryFormat = "query" ) /> <cfreturn results /> I am running on a development server, so I get that meta data on every CF request: <META NAME="ColdFusionMXEdition" CONTENT="ColdFusion DevNet Edition - Not for Production Use."> Could that be the culprit? If so, how do you guys develop AJAX apps without running into this issue?
