JsonResult data return not displayed on a textbox but is displayed on a textarea

Question

A JsonResult is calling me back an anonymous type. I can use the alert function to check it is correctly received client side, but impossible to fill a textbox value with this result. While I can fill a textarea value, I tried to parse the result (the textbox are bound to my model view, to a float and a int data type, but I don't think its because of this type).

This is my code :

    $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: "/MyCalledFunction/?arg1=" + $("#FK_ARG").val(),                datatype: "json",
                success: function(data) {
                    if (data) {
// my return result if an anymous type 
                        var price = data.price;
                        var NbDefaultDaysNumber = data.NbDefaultDaysNumber;
alert(price);// display the msgbox with '100'
                        $("#MY_PRICE").html(price);// textbox type value -> failed
                        $("#DEFAULT_DAYS").html(NbDefaultDaysNumber); // textbox type value -> failed
                        $("#ANOTHER_AREA").html(NbDefaultDaysNumber);// text area property value... -> works

                    }
                }
            });


        public JsonResult MyCalledFunction(string arg1)
        {
// some unintersting code...
           var myReturnJSon = new {price = 100, 
                            DEFAULT_DAYS = 10};
return Json(myReturnJSon);
        }

Im sure it's a stupid question of binding with some text parameters somewhere. Any idea?

Answer 1

For a textbox (by which I assume you mean an <input> with type="text", you should be using val() and not html()

$("#DEFAULT_DAYS").val(NbDefaultDaysNumber);
