First thing, read up on the ajax functionality in Web2py. It's way simpler
than jQuery ajax and will work just fine for what you want to do.l
Consider using the ":eval" target in Web2py ajax. It will allow you to send
JavaScript snippets back to the server. That way you can do things like
this on the server side:
Function get_config_details():
try:
# Your code goes here
return "$('#resultip').html(data);
except:
return "$('.flash').text('Server has experienced an error. Please
refresh the page.');"
Also:
What does the url going back to the server look like?
It should be something like http://localhost/application/controller/function
Use the network tab in Firebug or Chrome developer tools to watch the
conversation between browser and host.
Your JavaScript looks OK to me except I'm suspicious about that url. Or
maybe your Web2py code is raising an exception.
