Question

My jquery ajax code is like this

 $(".head-text").live('click', function (event) {

        var url = new URI().addQuery("showlist", 1);
        $.ajax({
            url: url, type: "GET"
            , success: function (data) {

                var $response = $(data);
                alert($response.html);
            }
        });
        return false;

    });

and the alert always displays this message

 function ( str ) {
    if ( typeof str != 'undefined' )
    {
      if ( this.data( 'dotdotdot' ) )
      {
        if ( typeof str != 'function' )
        {
          return this.trigger( 'update', [ str ] );
        }
      }
      return _orgHtml.call( this, str );
    }
    return _orgHtml.call( this );
    }

I cant understand what went wrong or what this means.I just want to see the result html.

You forgot the (). So you get the source code of the .html() method.

alert( $response.html() );
