API_AddRecord works, API_GenAddRecordForm doesn't.

API_GenAddRecordForm works fine for me when calling it from a webpage, but from my javascript page I only seem able to get API_AddRecord to work, but it doesn't take me to the record after generating ...

But actually, I'm using :

var url = "https://xxxx.quickbase.com";  
  url    += "/db/";
  url    += "abcdefghi";
  url    += "?a=API_AddRecord";

and then the url gets called from $.ajax

so now I'll try rewriting the javascript without the .ajax

That API call returns XML which is not human readable. The XML response to API_AddRecord needs to be parsed with JavaScript to determine if the record was actually added without error (it normally is so you often just skip this step and proceed to the next step in the workflow).
