Question

I have an AJAX request in function in another file. I need to pass json parameters to this request. Here are sample params which work in my ajax:

{firstName : name, lastName: sname, email : email, password : pass},

I would like to pass data as a function’s parameter. I tried to pass it as a string param, but my function recognise it, and sends as a string. Which does not work.

My function with ajax request:

function ajax(url,contentType,data)
{  
    $.ajaxSetup ({
    cache: false
});

console.log("Starting AJAX");

$.ajax({                                                                   
    crossDomain: true,
    type: 'GET',
    url: url, 
    callback: 'jsonpCallback',
    jsonpCallback: 'jsonpCallback',
    jsonp: '_jsonp',
    data: data, 
    scriptCharset: "utf-8",
    contentType: contentType,
    dataType: 'jsonp json',
    timeout : 5000,

    success: success,
    error: error,
});
console.log('AJAX done');
}

I tried this:

ajaxRegister('http://lalal/register','application/json',data);

ajaxRegister('http://lalal/register','application/json','{firstName : name, lastName: sname, email : email, password : pass}');

The point is that when I put this sample json as a data parameter of the request, it works. I want to be flexible and be able to put any json in parameter and send it as a request’s param.

The answer is passing parameters in ” “. It helped, but was not necesserly when locally adding data.
