It might be worth sticking a console.log or other debugging statement into js/crm.ajax.js around line 208

Tried that, and logged the error.  The error was "undefined."  Not the string "undefined" but an actual undefined object.  Any clue?

I got it to work, but it's pretty janky, and a kind of hard-coded solution

I replaced the .fail() function which used to be this:

}).fail(function(data) {
        that._onFailure(data.responseText);
      });
with this:

}).fail(function(data) {
        console.log('begin jankiness');
        console.log(data.responseText);
        console.log(data.responseText.indexOf('{'))
        lol = JSON.parse(data.responseText.slice(data.responseText.indexOf('</script>') + 9 ));
        console.log(lol);
        that.element.html(lol.content);
        //that._onFailure(data.responseText);
      });
So basically it can't handle errors anymore... 

I think what the problem was, is that there was some <script> tag in the data there, and it was causing problems with the JSON parsing, and I just cut the <script> out of the response text in the failure handling.  Is that <script> suppose to be there?  Here's the script I'm talking about:

<script type="text/javascript">
cj(document).ready(function() {

if (!window.educationDetails) {

// move the education details from php to javascript
window.educationDetails = [{"university_institute_5":"University of Notre Dame","degree_obtained_8":"B.S.","area_of_study_10":"Computer Science","start_year_18":"2011","end_year_19":"2015"}];

cj('#profilewrap20 #crm-container').append('<u>Education Details:</u><br /><br />');

// loop trough each set of education details
for (var i=0; i<window.educationDetails.length; i++) {

// loop through each field in the set
for (prop in window.educationDetails[i]) {

// prettify the fieldname - strip the last 2 characters from the fieldname, and lose underscores
var label = prop.substring(0, prop.lastIndexOf('_')).replace(/_/g, ' ');

// prepare the html that will be added for this field
var row = '<div id="row-first_name" class="crm-section first_name-section">'
+'<div class="label" style="text-transform: capitalize">'+label+'</div>'
+'<div class="content">'+window.educationDetails[i][prop]+'</div>'
+'<div class="clear"></div>'
+'</div>';

//append it to the page
cj('#profilewrap20 #crm-container').append(row);

}

// put a space between each set of education details
cj('#profilewrap20 #crm-container').append('<br />');

}
}

});
</script>

Yea that javascript is def from custom code on your end (funny that was one of my first suggestions). Looks like you are shoving that script directly into the raw output from php regardless of format (in this case the format is json but you are assuming it's html). That's going to break most of CIviCRM, so I suggest you find a cleaner way to inject it (see CRM_Core_Resources) and then you won't need the janky hack anymore.

I SWEAR I disabled it when testing last week.

Coleman, your help has been invaluable. Thank you.

We had a problem viewing and editing pop-up forms (activities and notes) so by disabling this functionality it works.

The setting is in: -
/civicrm/admin/setting/preferences/display?reset=1
(Enable Pop up Forms - disable this!)
