Hi,

I'm new to dojo and have set up some javascript to get values from a Notes agent.

function getData(agentName) {

//The parameters to pass to xhrGet, the url, how to handle it, and the callbacks.
var xhrArgs = {
url: DBurl+ "/" + agentName,
handleAs: "text",
load: function(response, ioArgs) {
alert("response= " +response);
retVal = response;
},
error: function(response, ioArgs) {
console.error("HTTP status code: ", ioArgs.xhr.status);
alert(response);
}

}

//Call the asynchronous xhrGet
var deferred = dojo.xhrGet(xhrArgs);

}

The function works and returns data from my agent, however. The agent has a print statement as follows:

Print "<OPTION>SELECT</OPTION>"

however, the response text reads:

"<html>
<head>
</head>
<body text="#000000">
<OPTION>SELECT</OPTION>
</body>
</html>"

Am I doing something wrong? Can I just return the bit I set in the print statement? or is this standard and I just need to strip away the extranious tags?
