in my example i would isted of alert($(data).find('result').text());
use $('.loading').text($(data).find('result').text());
if you had html then $('.loading').html($(data).html()) would work i
think so long as you returned html you might have to tell it what the
return type is just it normaly pics that up unless your html is
malformed
in yours i think you would just have to change your $
("#response").html(html); to $("#response").html($(html).html());
maby $("#response").html($(html)); would work but it would depend on
your input as somtimes that will brake and i never did work out why
