AJAX responseText returns with "\r\n" at the front.

RESOLVED

 

 

I am calling an update method in my javascript that sends an AJAX request to a PHP script. That compiles an array of values and is supposed to return a delimited string of name=value pairs like this:

 

name1210=Tom Burns;company1210=Technet Center;id1210=2229

 

The PHP is compiling an array and then joining it with the delimeter. I did a var_dump from PHP on the resulting string and it returns exactly what I was expecting. However, when I get the string back into my AJAX environment, it looks like this:

 

rn name1210=Tom Burns;company1210=Technet Center;id1210=2229

 

The carriage return line feed show up for who know why, and that makes the first name=value pair inaccessible, because I don't have an element named "rn name1210".

 

I tried a string.replace on the full "rn" and on portions of it, to no avail. Does anyone know how I can either avoid getting this in the first place or getting rid of it afterward?

 

Thank you.

 

Tom

I just figured it out. response.trim() did the trick.

You would be better off modifying the server-side code to not output the rn.
