How to return several data on success?

Is it possible to return two different data on success in ajax, for example:

$.a开发者_JAVA技巧jax({
   url: url_action,
   type:'POST',
   data: dataToSend,
   success:function(results)
   {
      $(".photosLive").html(results);
   }

});

In results, there are two pieces of information: Title and Image. Then I need to put title in another div .titleLive and put image in .photosLive (but it's already OK)

How can I do this?

You could return a JSON object containing two fields, title and photo which you can then parse and insert into your DOM

JSON syntax is basically Javascript object syntax, take a look at:

http://www.json.org/js.html

There are JSON generators from Objects for almost any server side language

JSON example: Say your server generates the string I assigned to the var json (instead of html) so you receive it as response of your ajax call into your success method

var json = '{title:"A new title", photo:"path/to/pic"}'

var result = jQuery.parseJSON( json ); 


$('.titleLive').text(result.title);
$('.photosLive').attribute(src, result.photo);

To return your response in JSON is just plain text with correct format, for example in your server side something like:

setResponse("{title:\"A new title\", photo:\"path/to/pic\"}");

Well. The best way to do this is to have whatever URL you're requesting return the result as JSON. If, however, it has to return HTML, you could do this:

...
success: function(results) {
    // select the image and title from wherever it may be in the HTML returned
    var response = $(results),
        title = response.find('#title').text(),
        image = response.find('img').attr('src');

    // Do whatever with your info.
}

Edit: Example with JSON return:

The page returning the title and image information:

{"title":"My Title","image":"http://mydomain.com/image.png"}

And your success callback (you don't have to set new variables for the response, I'm just doing it to illustrate):

success: function(results) {
    var title = results.title,
        image = results.image;

    // Do whatever with your info.
}

It all depend on the data type you return (Json/XML/etc.). Suppose you return plain text: title:lorup ipsum,image:foobar.png: In the success function:

var returnedData = results;

var title = returnedData.split(",")[0].replace('title:','');

var image= returnedData.split(",")[1].replace('image:','');

$(".titleLive").html(title );

$(".photosLive").html(image);

By the way, this not clean. As I mentioned it, the best way is to use structured data.
