I m using XML to carry the result back from the php on the server to the webpage and I have had the same behaviour   In my case the reason was   that the closing tag did not match the opening tag    lt  php      header  Content-Type  text xml    echo   lt  xml version   1 0   encoding   utf-8    gt       lt result gt           lt status gt  status lt  status gt           lt OPENING TAG gt  message lt  CLOSING TAG gt       lt  result gt      gt

Add  error  callback  just like  success   this way     ajax      type   POST      url   submit1 php      data      regist   serialize       dataType   json      success  function               loading   append   lt h2 gt you are here lt  h2 gt              error  function jqXhr  textStatus  errorMessage         console log  Error     errorMessage              So  in my case I saw in console   Error   SyntaxError  Unexpected end of JSON input   at parse   lt anonymous gt         etc

I had same problem  it happen because javascript expect json data type in returning data  but if you use echo or print in your php this situation occur  if you use echo function in php to return data  Simply remove dataType    json  working pretty well

Although the problem is already solved i add this in the hope it will help others   I made the mistake an tried to use a function directly like this  success  OnSuccess productID    But you have to pass an anonymous function first     function callWebService cartObject           ajax         type   POST         url   http   localhost AspNetWebService asmx YourMethodName         data  cartObject        contentType   application x-www-form-urlencoded         dataType   html         success  function              OnSuccess cartObject productID                 error  function              OnError cartObject productID                 complete  function                 Handle the complete event         alert  ajax completed     cartObject productID                       end Ajax             return false        If you do not use an anonymous function as a wrapper OnSuccess is called even if the webservice returns an exception

I had this problem using an ajax function to recover the user password from Magento  The success event was not being fired  then I realized there were two errors    The result was not being returned in JSON format I was trying to convert an array to JSON format  but this array had non-utf characters   So every time I tried to use json eoncde   to encode the returning array  the function was not working because one of its indexes had non-utf characters  most of them accentuation in brazilian portuguese words

The result is probably not in JSON format  so when jQuery tries to parse it as such  it fails  You can catch the error with error  callback function   You don t seem to need JSON in that function anyways  so you can also take out the dataType   json  row

I tried removing the dataType row and it didn t work for me   I got around the issue by using  complete  instead of  success  as the callback   The success callback still fails in IE  but since my script runs and completes anyway that s all I care about     ajax       type   POST       url   somescript php       data  someData      complete  function jqXHR           if jqXHR readyState     4                  run some code                                       in jQuery 1 5 you can also do it like this   var ajax     ajax       type   POST       url   somescript php       data   someData      ajax complete function jqXHR       if jqXHR readyState     4                run some code

Put an alert   in your success callback to make sure it s being called at all   If it s not  that s simply because the request wasn t successful at all  even though you manage to hit the server  Reasonable causes could be that a timeout expires  or something in your php code throws an exception   Install the firebug addon for firefox  if you haven t already  and inspect the AJAX callback  You ll be able to see the response  and whether or not it receives a successful  200 OK  response  You can also put another alert   in the complete  callback  which should definitely be invoked

The success callback takes two arguments   success  function  data  textStatus        Also make sure that the submit1 php sets the proper content-type header  application json

Make sure you re not printing  echo or print  any text data prior to generate your JSON formated data in your PHP file  That could explain that you get a -sucessfull 200 OK- but your sucess event still fails in your javascript  You can verify what your script is receiving by checking the section  Network - Answer  in firebug for the POST submit1 php

You must declare both Success AND Error callback  Adding  error  function err           should fix the problem
