I think your params should look like this: { "category":fundType }
In your code, you are passing a string rather than a javascript object literal. -- Josh -----Original Message----- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:jquery...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of bradrice Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2009 9:38 AM To: jQuery (English) Subject: [jQuery] jquery.getJSON params not filtering I just can't seem to get getJSON to filter based upon the map I send in. Here is my code: $.getJSON('funds_static_json.dot',"{category:fundType}",function(json) { dropdownSet.loadSelect(json); } My post in firebug looks completely right: http://www.uakron.edu/development2/funds/funds_static_json.dot?category=5263 60 The json is formatted properly and passes the lint test. However, I get the entire json back and not the filtered by my parameter. I have over a thousand funds, but it should only pull back about 9 bassed upon that category. Here is my working url: http://www.uakron.edu/development2/funds/fund-detail_2.dot Any help would be appreciated. I'm slamming into a wall.
