Description
Defines which response type the backend will use and which dataformat will be handed over to the callback function of your application:
- E4X will return the XML from the backend as Javascript XML() object and thus allowing E4X notation. Supported by Firefox 1.5 only!
- JSON will return the data structure from the backend as JSON dataset. Note that class methods will not be part of the response, only the data.
- OBJECT will return XML as well but in this case CPAINT will generate a JavaScript object structure for you and return this to the callback function.
- TEXT will return a plaintext response.
- XML will return a JavaScript XMLHttpObject. This can be traversed via standard DOM functions.
