Comment:

 Thanks for the suggestion, iseqqavoq.

 Is this an actual problem that you have encountered?

 When no `dataType` is supplied, then jQuery says that the default behavior
 is to do an “Intelligent Guess (xml, json, script, text, html).” So it
 should be detecting that the response is JSON and parsing it as such. If
 this is not the case for you, perhaps there is a PHP error that is getting
 output first and causing HTML to get injected before the JSON content
 starts, and in this case the response would not be interpreted as JSON.
 But it wouldn't really matter in that case, because it couldn't be parsed
 as JSON anyway.
