$.ajax returning json adds decimal (.0) to whole numbers

[[email protected]…]

When using $.ajax() that returns JSON data, the integers returned by the server code are given an extra decimal point.

For example:

$.ajax({

type: "get" ,url: MYURL ,dataType: "json" ,success: function(result) {

$(TEXTBOXSELECTOR).val(result.ID)

}

});

The ID value in the JSON object is turned into a decimal. (i.e. 4 returned from server code is turned into 4.0)

I have checked that my server code is returning a whole number, 4, and not 4.0.
