Question

I have a controller code like this :

def test23() {
        //params.id23 is been passed via ajax calls
        def find = User.findByUsernameLike("${params.id23}")
        println find
        render """<script type="text/javascript"> alert("hi"); </script>""" 
    }

This code is called using jquery’s ajax method. Well, it works well, that is , I get output printed on my console, but the render part is not working (I’m not getting the alert).

What I done is correct? Or anything else need to be passed to render those scripts?

Answer 1

try this instead:

render text: """<script type="text/javascript"> alert("hi"); </script>""",
        contentType: 'js'

or possibly:

render text: """<script type="text/javascript"> alert("hi"); </script>""", 
        contentType: 'text/javascript'
