Thanks Chris, that does help at least get me on track. I'm hoping to find out from controller code though. I figure there must be a single flag or mechanism that is set if the controllers know when to return json. I just need to know how to directly access that from within a controller method, but don't see that mentioned in the json docs. If someone knows, I'd be happy to add an example of what I'm doing to the json docs.
