Thanks for this info. The thing is that in one case I'd like to return html (when the data passed wasn't valid - since client side validation fails..) so the user can make changes and post it again. But when the data validated and a new object in the database was created successfully then I'd like to return Json. Is there any way to check the type of returned result?

Try setting the MIME type of response: If none is specified, jQuery will intelligently try to get the results, based on the MIME type of the response

I believe this is the default behaviour and "if none is specified" in this case means "if you don't set it explicitly" rather than "set it to none".
