[SOLVED] jquery ajax xml help

[schilly]

So I've been pounding my head on this for a day now. I haven't had any problems using ajax in jquery up until now though it is the first time I've tried to get an xml response.

 

function addReview(){

		$.ajax({
	   		url: "ajax/add_review.php",
	   		dataType: "xml",
	   		type: "POST",
	   		data: $("#review_form").serialize(),
	   		success: function(msg){
alert("success");
			},
			error: function(xhr, ajaxOptions){
                                                        alert(xhr.status);
                                                        alert(xhr.statusText);
                                                 }
		});
		return false;
	}

So every time I run this it goes into the error callback and gives a 200 OK status message in the alerts. Firebug also says 200 OK code so I don't know why it won't go into the success callback. The xml response from the php files looks good too.

 

Any suggestions??

 

Thanks.

hmmmm ok. seems to be something in my php file when outputting the xml.

<?php
header ("content-type: text/xml");

//make sure it was posted

$dom = new DomDocument('1.0');  

//add root - <books> 
$books = $dom->appendChild($dom->createElement('books')); 

//add <book> element to <books> 
$book = $books->appendChild($dom->createElement('book')); 

//add <title> element to <book> 
$title = $book->appendChild($dom->createElement('title')); 

//add <title> text node element to <title> 
$title->appendChild($dom->createTextNode('Great American Novel')); 

//generate xml 
$dom->formatOutput = true; // set the formatOutput attribute of 
                            // domDocument to true 
// save XML as string or file 
$test1 = $dom->saveXML(); // put string in test1 
//$dom->save('test1.xml'); // save as file 
echo $test1;
?>

ok this default examples give success msg but when I try to add my own xml it breaks.

//add my own line
$login = $dom->appendChild($dom->createElement('login'));

$test1 = $dom->saveXML(); // put string in test1 
//$dom->save('test1.xml'); // save as file 
echo $test1;
?>

ok added my own line and it broke.
