 * Hi,
    I am unable use `do_shortcode` in ajax callback function. The shortcode 
   works outside ajax callback function. But i need to call it from inside ajax.
   I searched this problem and came to know that this is issue with WordPress. Can
   any one suggest how can i use `do_shortcode` inside ajax callback function.

 * Call the shortcode handler function directly, echoing out its return.
