Ext.Ajax.request Problem

[nameroc]

Hi,

I've recently switched to Ext 3 RC 1, and I'm having some issues with Ext.Ajax.request. When I request a file which contains anything BUT JSON formatted data (regular html files, files which contain a <div>, files which contain simple javascript functions), it gives an 'missing (in parenthetical' error in firebug and the request does not complete. This used to work in the previous version of Ext JS.

I want to request non-json formatted files for my project using Ext.Ajax.request or some other method if that is possible.

Thanks in advance for any insights or ideas,
nameroc

You are passing the result to eval() which is throwing this error.

Debug by seting a breakpoint in Ext's Ajax postprocessing, and stepping through until you see where the error is.

Thanks for the response, but I'm still confused. Here's the code that errors out:

Ext.Ajax.request({
                scope : this,
                url : '/js/ext_components/formlar/' + formName + '.js',
                success : function(response){                    
                }
            });

This is the request that runs. As you can see, the success function is empty and nothing is being done with the response.

When the url points to a file which contains this:

{json:true}

It works correctly (as in, no errors in firebug).

However, when the url points to a file which contains:

json:false

It gives the

 missing ) in parenthetical

error in ext-all-debug.js, line 7570. The line does indeed contain eval(), but I don't get why it's trying to evaluate the result at all.

can you show the data you are getting back?

Sure. I think you mean this:

So set a break there!

See what it's doing, and why, and see who called it, from where by going back through the call stack.

The error was in my code after all: A catch all requestcomplete that was written ages ago, and I'd forgotten about it.

Thanks for all the help,
