I have peculiar problem trying to consume a simple WCF service from jquery. See the code below:
$(document).ready(function () {
// Initialize the carousel on the header part of the page
$("#myCarousel").carousel({
interval: 2000
});
// The handler for the submit button (login form)
$("#submit").click(function () {
var sendData = '{"username": "' +
$("#usernameTB").val() +
'", "password": "' +
CryptoJS.MD5($("#passwordTB").val()) +
'"}';
$.ajax("Services/LoginUser.svc/Login", {
cache: false,
type: "POST",
data: sendData,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
processData: true,
complete: ServiceCompleted
});
});
}); function ServiceCompleted(data) { alert("Response: " + data.responseText); }
When I use this code from IE, it works like a charm, that is, the call is executed and returns what I expect, see the below fiddler dumps of the request / response:

{"d":null}
If I do the same using Chrome, I get the following request / response dumps:

{"d":null}
Now, the alert does not show me the {"d":null} text.
Does anyone know what the difference is that is blocking me from using the responseText?
