I have this ajax request, and i've used this dozens of times, and never had a problem, until today, and i can't sus it.

 

I thought it could be because i've stopped using jquery 1.2.6 and moved to 1.3.2, but i tried it on 1.2.6 and it still doesn't work.

 

	  $.ajax({
  type: "POST",
  url: "contact.php",
  data: dataString,
  success: function() {
	$('#contact_form').html("<div id='message'></div>");
	$('#message').html("<h2>Thank you for your enquiry</h2>")
	.append("<p>I will be in touch soon.</p>")
	.hide()
	.fadeIn(1500, function() {
	  $('#message').append();
	});
  }
 });

 

It's sending the request succesfully the the php file, i've checked with firebug, and i'm getting a successful server response, and the email is sending, but the function won't execute, and i don't know why?

 

Anyone got any idea's? Firebug Shows no errors, all browsers successfully send emails, but none execute the function.

Hmm, ok i've narrowed it down to a problem with the function, if i replace it with

 

{
  alert (dataString);
}

 

Then it runs, idk why it doesn't work, it shows no errors, and the other times i've ran the function it's fine, so *shrugs*

 

I'll re-write it, maybe there's a conflict, but surely firebug would show it? Although my confidence in firebug is shattered, because it always returns this in the console now

 

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDocShell.canvasHasFocus]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsSessionStore.js :: sss_saveState :: line 1909" data: no]
[Break on this error] this._writeFile(this._sessionFile, oState.toSource());

 

If anyone knows what the above is, i'd love to know how to fix it?

 

EDIT: GAH!!! i fixed it, it was just a typo *sigh*

what was the typo?

Late (just a tad) but incase anyone want's to nab this, there's no typo in the actual script itself.

 

$('#contact_form').

 

was referenceing

 

<form id="contact-form" />

 

Notice the id has a hyphen, whereas i was trying to select it with an underscore. I'm forever making that mistake.
