title: Trying to output HTML from Jquery $.ajax call to web service
body: <p>I am trying to return an html table from a asp.net web service but can not figure out how to get the string that is returned to be actual html. Here is my jquery call...</p>
  
  <pre><code>$.ajax({
                  type: "POST",
                  url: "UserService.asmx/PersonTable",
                  data: "{}",
                  dataType: "json",
                  contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                  success: function(obj) {
                      alert(obj);
                      $('#tblPeople').text(obj.d);
                  },
                  error: function() {
                      alert("error");
                  }
              })
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it returns the string in the format I want but just writes out the string to the screen which is the string representation of an html table. How do I get the actual Html table to render?</p>
