.html is not true return

This is quite strange, and I cannot find any documentation to swith it off.

I have some simple code, which fires an AJAX request, and return the result in as retHtml:-

	alert(retHtml);
	$("#divFolder).html(retHtml);
	alert($("#divFolder).html);

Open in new window

if the retHTML is initially returned from the ajax request as:-

<img src="openFolder.jpg" />

After it is injected into divFolder, it now equals:-

<img src="http://localhost/openFolder.jpg" />

Which is great, but the I need my code to return exactly what is returned, not phase it.

Does anyone know how to stop jQuery modifying my code?

Thank you

Right, Ive found out that apparently jQuery "sanitizes" the data returned by the AJAX request:-

dataFilter(data, type) Function
A function to be used to handle the raw response data of XMLHttpRequest.This is a pre-filtering function to sanitize the response. You should return the sanitized data. The function accepts two arguments: The raw data returned from the server and the 'dataType' parameter.

Does anyone know how to switch it off?

jQuery will not do that.

So the ajax Im using is:-

						$.ajax({
							type: 'GET',
							url: 'viewTree.php',
							dataType: 'html',
							dataFilter: function(data, dataType) {
								return data;
								},
							success: function(retHtml, textStatus) {
								//alert(retHtml);
								$("#divFolder).html(retHtml);
								//alert($("#divFolder).html);
								},
							error: function (xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {
								$("#error").html("Failed - " + errorThrown ? errorThrown : xhr.status);
								}
							});

Open in new window

Does anyone have any ideas on how to turn this off?

leakim971: Sorry, I missed your reply before posting my last comment, according to the ajax documentation on the jQuery website it does sanatise the data, which Im assuming is what its doing. I could be wrong though!

It mean YOU can use it sanitize the data.

Anyway, if you load the image <img src="openFolder.jpg" /> from http://localhost, the URL of the image is : http://localhost/openFolder.jpg
if you load the same content/data, I mean <img src="openFolder.jpg" /> it in your page from http://localhost/images the url of the image is : http://localhost/images/openFolder.jpg

if you don't want your image follow the path of the current page, prefix it's path with /
