[Seaside] seaside Digest, Vol 175, Issue 6

[David Pennington]

No, I didn't say that. 
I am building a Cordova app for an Android tablet. This comprises an html file along with an attendant js file.
The Javascript page is making a REST GET request back to a Seaside server (on a remote Windows Server node). What that gets is an HTML response as mentioned earlier. This HTML response includes a JSON with the data. The Javascript on the Android device then parses out the JSON.

What I wanted to do was for Seaside to only send the JSON as a response to the GET request to save doing the little bit of parsing but the Seaside solution is more complex than the 5 line JS so I will go with the JS. This is all part of an Open University project. These is only a single GET call (that sends varying parameters so varying data responses) so this little bity of code is only required in one place.

Are you seriously generating html and then splicing out the generated javascript on the client side?

Thanks for the advice however, I always find responses like this outside of my capabilities due to my lack of in-depth knowledge of Seaside.
In fact, I solved my problem quite simply by writing a few lines of JavaScript as follows:

var first = data.indexOf("{");var next = data.indexOf("}");userJson = data.slice(first,next + 1);userJson = userJson.replace(/"/g, '\"');userJson = userJson.replace(/;/g, '');return $.parseJSON(userJson)
where the $.parseJSON is a jquery.mobile.js method.
This worked perfectly and I now have a fully organised JavaScript object that has the parsed JSON.
