Question

I am using this ajax file upload script, and all works well in firefox http://valums.com/ajax-upload/

But it does not work in IE8.

EDIT: Ok, i’ve narrowed down the problem. In my php ajax response I do this

$result['table_1']='<b>text</b>';
echo json_encode($result);

The result I see in the IE developer tools looks like this

JOURNAL : [uploader] innerHTML = {"table_1":"<B>text&lt;\/b&gt;"}</B>

The end of the inner html got messed up, and the json got messed up with the correct ending tag somehow ending up outside the json??

I am using php 5.2

Answer 1

Ok, I found a olution that works. This library works through an iframe, so to return text like

$result='<b id="1">text</b>';

I have to manually encode and decode the ” myself because they get messed up in the iframe.
So the final php looks like this

$result['table_1']=htmlentities(str_replace('"','|',getRowHTML()));
echo json_encode($result);

And then to manually decode in the javascript looks like this

   function(id, fileName, responseJSON)
    {
      $('#table_1 tbody').html
      (
         //this line decodes responseJSON.table_1
         $("<div/>").html(responseJSON.table_1.replace(/\|/g,'"')).text()
      );
    }
