problems with jquery.couch / REST calls

[john.tiger]

trying to test out new CORS branch but not getting anywhere - we have a 
small login form with the submit button called by a jquery click command 
(which works with alert test)

here's different stuff that I have tried inside the button click to no 
luck - also I don't even see anything in the js console (so assume no js 
errors) and don't see anything in logs in /usr/local/var/log/couchdb  - 
in the home folder of the code the error log only shows missing favicon 
- any suggestions how I should be getting better log data as to what's 
happening or not happening ?


alert("login");
=> shows alert => button click is working

var form = $(event.target).parents("form#login_form");
var doc = login_form_to_doc(null,form);
alert("form "+ JSON.stringify(doc));
=> shows content of login form => ok

var test = $.couch.db("testdb");
alert("db test " + JSON.stringify(test))
=> shows url of testdb => I think ok

$.couch.db("testdb").info({
  success: function(data){
    alert("info"+JSON.stringify(data));
  }
});
=> no alert, nothing in logs

$.get("http://127.0.0.1:5984/testdb";,
  function(data){
    alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
  }
);
=> no alert, nothing in logs

$.ajax({
  url: "http://127.0.0.1:5984/testdb";,
  data: data,
  success: function(data) {
    alert("Data Loaded: " + JSON.stringify(data));
  },
  dataType: json
});
=> no alert, nothing in logs

var db = "testdb";
$.couch.db(db).create();
var foo = new Object();
foo.name = "joe";
foo.password = "secret";
$.couch.db("tigertest").saveDoc(foo);
=> no alert, nothing in logs

$.couch.login({
  name:"jdoe",
  password:"tigernassau",
  success: function(data){
    alert("Welcome!");
    log.console(data);
    close_dialog();
  },
  error: function(status){
    alert("login failed");
    log.console(status);
    close_dialog();
  }
});
=> no alert, nothing in logs
