Question

In my Ajax request (using jQuery) I am returning a JSON response.

So json.Html will have a string of HTML I want to append inside a div.

On the server side,

Answer 1

When creating JSON with HTML you have to escape then double-quote character, and also the CLRF character and it will return HTML fine.

I worked with a pl/sql in oracle procedure that was called from a AJAX request. If you would like, i can post the implementation.

You should test your output at http://www.jsonlint.com/ to see if its valid.

So

{
    "id": "1",
    "html_value": "test link returnin html code"
}

is diffrent from

{
    "id": "1",
    "html_value": "test link returnin
 html code"
}

because of the CLRF character. You should replace that in the server side with  ; or
.

Hope this helps, Alex
