jQuery mobile and JSON post responses

What is the best practice for handling a form post that returns a json response? We are trying to reuse some code in the mobile version of our site which returns JSON and I am unsure of the best way to handle the javascript. I want to populate a dialog.

Thanks,

I'd use $.post() and set the data-type param as "json". This should cause the interpreted JSON data to be passed to the success callback.

If the JSON is not completely well-formed, this will have problems.

Be sure to be using the most up-to-date jQuery as some earlier versions had problems with JSON conversion.

Keep in mind that by default jQuery Mobile is performing ajax form submissions. Are you saying that the best practice here is to bypass jQuery Mobile's default mechanism (i.e. set data-ajax="false" in the form tag), intercept the submit and do my own ajax form submission?

Thanks,

Perhaps -- I haven't yet toyed with jQuery Mobile enough to know if there's a built-in way to configure its automatic posts.
