Question

I looking more for ‘how to troubleshoot’ rather than.. the answer is this. Though I obviously wouldn’t mind an answer.

Here is my JS.

function listFiles(path) {

        document.path = 'dir='+path;

        $.ajax({
            url: "<?php echo site_url("admin/media/get_folder");?>",
            //data: document.path,
            success: function(data) {
                if (data.error) {
                    alert(data.error);
                    return;
                }

                $.each(data, function(key, arr) {
                    $("#files").append(
                        '<a href="#" class="' + arr.type + 
                           ' row">'     + key + '</a>'
                    );
                });
            },
            error: function(e) {
                alert('foo');
            }
        });
        return false;
    }

    listFiles('');

This is what the JS is being fed.

{"files":{"type":"folder","path":"C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\codeigniter\\uploads\\"},
"images":{"type":"folder","path":"C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\codeigniter\\uploads\\"}}

When I run in IE9 I get back foo. I can’t locate my IE8 install unfortunately but it would be good to debug this anyway.

EDIT!

In IE the following tests give the following results.

alert(arguments[1]) = parsererror. 
alert(e.status + '\n' + e.statusText); = 200 / OK. 

When I copy the javascript URL from the IE source into the IE browser bar the url loads fine and prompts me to download the json file

EDIT EDIT

Found the cause.

Could not complete the operation due
to error c00ce56e

On looking that up, I found this. http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B304625&x=10&y=13

How do I properly encode json documents?

I know it is ASP but the results should still be the same. Check out this link http://forums.asp.net/p/1345268/2732795.aspx. Try changing the content type to ISO or something, if ISO doesn’t work then try UTF-8. http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
