console errors with "data" variables returned from async calls

[rugbyprof]

What is the deal with all the console errors?

• When you guys make an asynchronous call and send data to your callback, you should know what data type it is.
• I've been going through and trying to clean up the calls by testing that data exists before using it, but there is no standard return value.
• Sometimes data is an "object" and sometimes its a "string". This is ok, unless your using data.records.length in a "FOR" loop and data is a string.
• If data is going to be an "empty" set or not have value, we need some default return value so we can test before using it. I'm ok with:

if(typeof data != "undefined"){
    //blah
}

But a "string" is NOT undefined, and said "string" does not have methods like records.length.

So come up with a standard value to return and test for or brute force the testing within the callback:

if(typeof data != "undefined" ){
    if(typeof data == "object"){
        //use records.length or whatever else is supposed to be in the object
    }else{
        //It's defined, but its NOT an object so ...
        //I'm guessing its a string?? So now what?
    }
}

CLEAN UP THE CONSOLE ERRORS......

I fixed the ones that were erroring on me. But there are still a lot of code blocks that are using data assuming it's defined. At the top of aiiController I see testing to ensure that data is an "object". Why did you guys stop?

I haven't pushed my changes yet. I will here in a bit.
