Question

In my app i m using JQuery..In tat I m using tat Ajax GEt to retrive values from cakephp controller viewforms ….But if i alert myObject..It doesnt came..

It show me the error as
missing ) in parenthetical {"attributes":[{"type":"Text","labels":"Untitled1"}]})

where {"attributes":[{"type":"Text","labels":"Untitled1"}]}) is my htm

This is my JQuery code

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "./updateField",
    data: "name=" + fieldname,
    success: function(msg){
    }//success
});//ajax

//Retriving the updated value in JSON Format
var htm = $.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "./viewforms",
    async: false
}).responseText;

var myObject = eval('(' + htm + ')');

But the same code works well in other system. Please suggest me….

Well, if your htm variable has an extra close parenthesis at the end, literally like so:

{"attributes":[{"type":"Text","labels":"Untitled1"}]})  /* extra close paren */

then that’s your problem. Getting rid of the close parenthesis at the end forms a valid JSON string:

{"attributes":[{"type":"Text","labels":"Untitled1"}]}  /* no close paren */

Perhaps if you shed some more light on the ./viewForms request handler (even give a code excerpt via pastebin) we could help more.
