Simple jQuery ajax questions with successful data return?

Question

Hi, I have the following:

         $.ajax({
           type: "POST",
           url: global.pathPrefix + '/services/brochure.asmx/ShowPostRequest',
           data: "parkIds=" + $('input.ids').val(),               
           success: function(msg){
             alert( "Data Saved: " + msg );
           },
           error: function(msg){
             alert( "error: " + msg );
           }               
         });

I expect "true" or "false" while I get "[object Document]". How to analyze this returned data? there is nothing to find out on the jQuery website. I also tried msg.d which did not return anything.

thank

When you use the jQuery function .ajax, what it passes back to your callbacks depends on which response is sent. From the docs :

jQuery MIME ( XML MIME XML, 1.4 JSON JavaScript, 1.4 script script, ).

, , , script XML, jQuery XML- . , jQuery , , dataType (, dataType: "text"), , , XML, XML, , .

, XML-, , , , . jQuery XML. , , :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<foo>
    <success>true</success>
</foo>

success :

success: function(xml) {
    var success = $(xml).find('success').text();
    alert(success);
}
