I am having trouble with using AJAX. I have controller class derived from AAdmin with following action:

        protected function doActionMyAction()
	{
             $list = \XLite\Core\Request::getInstance()->idlist;

             echo $list;
	}

I also have this piece so that I do not get forbidden thrown at me when I attempt to call that action:

    public static function defineFreeFormIdActions() 
    { 
        return array_merge(
		    parent::defineFreeFormIdActions(),
		    array('myaction')
	);
    }

In my javascript file I have this piece to perform AJAX call:

    var str = "TEST STRING";

    core.post(
            URLHandler.buildURL({ target: "crosscheck_order", action: 
            "myaction" }),
            function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, data, valid) {

                console.log(data);

            },
            { idlist: str}
        );

Instead of getting value of "str" in my console, I instead get raw html of the entire default template for this controller. Any tips on what I am doing wrong are very appreciated!

Please check how \XLite\Controller\Customer\Rest and \XLite\Controller\Customer\Autocomplete controllers return JSON data.
I think this should help.

Thank you for your reply! I completely forgot about adding headers, but adding them did not solve my issue. I still kept receiving raw html of page on which my script was being executed. I solved this by using jQuery.ajax() post method instead and it worked just fine. But I still do not understand why I could not get core.post() to work.
