JQuery 1.11.0; $.ajax() exception with data

[[email protected]…]

Dear,

If we use

$.ajax({
 url : 'index.php',
 type : 'GET',
 data : 'AJAX',
 dataType : 'html'
});

we got this error due to the variable name (AJAX in uppercase).

Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: array(1) {
  ["AJAX"]=>
  string(3) "123"
}

Yours faithfully,

Alexis Paques

As an observation you have referred to AJAX as a variable but have enclosed it in quotation marks, which will cause JavaScript to treat it as a string. If this is indeed a variable defined outside of the code sample, omit the quotation marks and ensure that the case matches completely as defined (I.e. AjAX != AJAX).
