ajax csv creation help

[White_Lily]

Hi, I have written an ajax csv creation code that when a button on the cms is pressed, then calls a php script to create and fill the csv and return the file name for a download link. However I am getting an error returned by the aJax saying that:

 

"object #filename.csv# has no method 'val'"

 

here is the aJax:

 

 

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$("#create_csv_cms-btn").click(function(){
$(this).html("Creating...").attr("disabled", "disabled");
 
$.ajax({  
url: "<?=$GLOBALS['siteUrl']?>/SE/includes/validators/create_csv.php",
cache: false, 
success: function(result){
if(result.val().length > 0){
$("#create_csv_cms-btn").fadeOut("slow",function(){
var download = 'Your mailing list is ready to download.<br><a href="<?=$GLOBALS["csvCreation_url"]?>'+ result +'">Download it here</a>.';
$("#resultOutput").fadeIn("slow").html(download).click(function(){
$(this).fadeOut("slow",function(){
$("#create_csv_cms-btn").html("Create CSV").fadeIn("slow")
});
});
});
}else{
$("#create_csv_cms-btn").removeAttr("disabled");
$("#create_csv_cms-btn").html("Re-Create CSV");
$("#resultOutput").html(result).fadeIn("slow");
}
}
});
return false;
});
});
</script>
