Re: [OT?] formatting response text for AJAX widget

[jfluhmann]

What about trying a different approach using JSON:

print qq{
{"componentId": "$componentId",
 "html": "<a href='#' onClick='javascript:makeForm( \"$componentId\", 
+\"$componentType\", \"$newTitle\");'>$newTitle</a>"}
};

Inside your JavaScript, use:

jsonText = eval( '(' request.responseText ')' );
$('override_' + jsonText.componentId).innerHTML = jsonText.html;
