Answer 1

JSONP needs to be wrapped in ( ). So

{"jim":{"address":"356 Trailer Park Avenue","url":"\/clients\/jim"},"anne":{"address":"6321 Tycoon Road","url":"\/clients\/anne"}}

needs to be

({"jim":{"address":"356 Trailer Park Avenue","url":"\/clients\/jim"},"anne":{"address":"6321 Tycoon Road","url":"\/clients\/anne"}})

You can actually verify this, if you pasted each into a javascript console. The first is a syntax error, and the second is the object you are looking for. You will need the following tag to not throw an error:

<script src="http://rest.users34.interdns.co.uk/index.php?format=json"></script>
