I'm using ajaxFileUpload jquery plugin in my codeigniter script for ajax upload!

However, I don't know if it's a browser dependent error. I develop locally (localhost) and the script works perfect, however, when I use the script on a live site with exactly the same software (PHP - self developed) I get this error "SyntaxError: syntax error eval( "data = " + data );"

Is it possible that it could be because of a delay in the post that could cause this...?

please help!!!

ajaxFileUpload.js code:

jQuery.extend({


    createUploadIframe: function(id, uri)
    {
            //create frame
            var frameId = 'jUploadFrame' + id;
            var iframeHtml = '<iframe id="' + frameId + '" name="' + frameId + '" style="position:absolute; top:-9999px; left:-9999px"';
            if(window.ActiveXObject)
            {
                if(typeof uri== 'boolean'){
                    iframeHtml += ' src="' + 'javascript:false' + '"';

                }
                else if(typeof uri== 'string'){
                    iframeHtml += ' src="' + uri + '"';

                }   
            }
            iframeHtml += ' />';
            jQuery(iframeHtml).appendTo(document.body);

            return jQuery('#' + frameId).get(0);            
    },
    createUploadForm: function(id, fileElementId, data)
    {
        //create form

My Controler code:

         fileElementId  :'userfile',

               //$('#files').html('<p>Reloading files...</p>');
               //refresh_files();
               $('#title').val('');

            alert(data.msg);
         }
      });
      return false;

May be the PHP script is throwing a Notice or some error that corrupts the JSON output. Check the response data returned by the server, may be there something wrong.
