Hi James,
Thanks for your response but I managed to solve my problem in a
different way.
I said in my first post the view doesn't always know on forehand what
format to expect (sometimes JSON data, other times a boolean) and that
therefore I had to use jQuery.get instead of jQuery.getJSON.
What I changed is the format in which I return data. I now always
return a JSON object, which makes more sense.
To illustrate what I mean, here are the two different formats of
resulted data.
scenario 1: vote succeeded.
$vote_response = array(
"status" => "success",
"voted" => $_GET["vote"],
"num_votes" => array(
"votes_for" => 7,
"votes_against" => 4
)
);
scenario 2: vote failed.
$vote_response = array(
"status" => "fail",
"message" => "you cannot make the same vote twice"
);
Regards,
Maarten
