jquery ajax data shows [object Object]

Question

I have a very basic ajax call to alert the data that was reported from the server

$.ajax({
       type: \"POST\",
       url: \"/someform/act\", //edit utl t         


        

Answer 1

alert() prints the string representation of the arguments - hence if you pass an object, you'll get [object Object].

To inspect data, use console.log(data) better.
