how to use ajax response in attr of an element

Question

I have made my ajax request, which works great and get response with type POST(server side is PHP). now i want to use it in the placeholder of an element with this code

function checkAvailability() {
    $("#loaderIcon").show();
    jQuery.ajax({
        url: "<?php echo ADDR;?>inc/promotion_check_availability.php",
        data:'code='+$("#code").val(),
        type: "POST",
        success:function(data){
            $("#result").html(data);
            var result = $(data).filter('#result');
            $("#amount").attr("placeholder", result);
            $("#loaderIcon").hide();
        },
        error:function (){}
    });
};

but in the placeholder of an element shown [object Object]. i don't know what is the problem. i really appreciate if some one help me figuring out this problem.

what does this file returns `promotion_check_availability.php` — coolguy, Nov 11 '15 at 10:26
you should parse the result or return a specific the dataType — guradio, Nov 11 '15 at 10:27
could you do console.log(data) to see what is in the object? — Dhunt, Nov 11 '15 at 10:27
I consider your `promition_check_availabilit.php` is returning `text` then use `result.html()` or parse response to html first. — mumair, Nov 11 '15 at 10:31
add `dataType: "json"` or `dataType:"text"` in ajax request. — mumair, Nov 11 '15 at 10:34

try $("#amount").attr("placeholder", result.html()); or $("#amount").attr("placeholder", result.text());
