title: Problem in getting the parseInt(data) return NaN
body: <p>I am having a peculiar problem with getting an integer from an ajax response. Whenever I call the following code, parseInt(data) returns NaN despite data being a string.</p>
  
  <pre><code>function(data)  //return information back from jQuery's get request
              {
  
                  $('#progress_container').fadeIn(100);   //fade in progress bar  
                  $('#progress_bar').width(data +"%");    //set width of progress bar based on the $status value (set at the top of this page)
                  $('#progress_completed').html(parseInt(data) +"%"); //display the % completed within the progress bar
              }
  </code></pre>
