ajax and codeigniter duplicating header

Answer 1

Are using using compression? If you are try to turn it off from CodeIgniter config.php

EDIT:

Option 1: you could put check from your method if you are receiving an ajax call. try creating this helper:

<?php  if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

function is_ajax()
{
    return isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && $_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH'] == 'XMLHttpRequest';
}

?>

Then try doing this in your method:

if (is_ajax())
{
    // do your thing
}
else
{
    $this->load->view('your_view');
}

This hopefully will solve this...

Option 2.

You could just echo and html string e.g. 'your data' and not load view

Answer 2

well now i feel stupid, The code been shown along with the response were views that were been loaded in the parent class.

My bad.

Thanks for all the help and the is_ajax() function is definitely a help.
