How to fetch only data value using ajax

To fetch data from ajax response follow this......

$.ajax({
          url: your_url,
          success: function(req){
            var data = new Array();
            var pairs = req.split("&");
            for (i = 0; (i < pairs.length); i++) {
              var nameAndValue = pairs[i].split("=");
              var name = unescape(nameAndValue[0]);
              var value = unescape(nameAndValue[1]);
              data[name] = value;
             
            }
            $("#startDate").val(data['startDate']);
            $("#endDate").val(data['endDate']);
            $("#comments").val(data['comment']);
            $("#year").val(data['currentSession']);
          }
        });

set name value pair in your response in action class separated by any char. I just do with '&'
and u can fetch data by name. No need to set whole div. You  just set value in your desired field and location.

eg:--  name1=value1&name2=value2&name3=value3 set in your ajax response. And fetch data like above.
