Question

I am using qq uploader for file uploads with Django. It works fine in modern browsers like FF/Chrome. I have also made some progress in making it work more or less properly in IE8. My issue is that when I upload a file and receive a JSON response from server, looks like this:

{"success":true,"url":"/media/campaigns/20111118162942_home_cooking_win_01.png"}

My code is like this:

onComplete:function(id, fileName, responseJSON) {
    alert(responseJSON['url']);
}

And I successfully load url attribute in FF/Chrome, but have no luck in IE8. It gets undefined value there. I tried different ways but couldn’t get actual value.
What can I do about it?

Answer 1

I tried playing with mimetype on server side. application/json made IE download the response as a file, and ‘text/plain’ made it surround response with <pre></pre>. Then I tried text/html and now response is evaluated properly so I can get values.
