I'm trying to make a working example of jQuery 1.9.1 AJAX + icanhaz/mustache. This is my template: <script id="user" type="text/html"> {{#users}}<li>Username: {{ username }}, fullname: {{ fullname }}</li>{{/users}} </script> and this is my JavaScript: $(document).ready( function() { $("#user-btn").click(function() { $.ajax({ type: "GET", url: "../php/client/json.php", data: { type: "users" } }).done(function( response ) { var element = $('#dialog-message'); element.html("<ul>"); element.append(ich.user(response)); element.append("</ul>"); }); }); The AJAX response from this address looks something like: {"users":[{"username":"jd","fullname":"John Doe"},{"username":"jl","fullname":"John Lennon"}]}; With the following code, icanhaz cannot render anything for me. I spent some time with javascript console and found out that the typeof response is string and I expected object . Icanhaz also expects object - that's why it didn't manage to render the correct response. Am I doing something wrong or am I just a poor newbie who didn't know that jquery.ajax returns string responses always? If so, how should I handle them?
