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
