使用JQuery从post（）接收响应

Question

I had a script working using Ajax (POST method) via plain Javascript. Now I'm trying to learn JQuery as it seems easier but I am having problem with the response of a request

$.post('ajax/wrapper.php', {'desc':$('#description').val()},
        function(data){
            $('#something').html(data);
        });

When I do that the request is successfully sent. I can see the changes on my DB but the response is not showing up in div#something. I also tried

...
   $('#something').html($(data));
...

Thanks in advance

commenting out the following line worked: header("Content-type: text/xml; charset=iso-8859-1")

See this document and the dataType parameter in jQuery.ajax. You should either return HTML with a text/html MIME type, or set the dataType parameter to 'html':

$.ajax('ajax/wrapper.php', {
    data: {'desc':$('#description').val()},
    dataType: 'html',
    type: 'POST',
    success: function(data){
        $('#something').html(data);
    }
}).then(console.log); // debug

The first is preferable, as you really are returning HTML, and text/html is the correct MIME for that.
