Question

I am really lost here, and I have no idea what I am doing wrong.
I have exposed an api which gives a json output, and I want to fetch this data from another domain. Since jsonp is way to go, I am trying the code below.. Inspection on firebug shows that the response to the request is proper JSON, but the callback functions never seem to execute. Any help?

$(function(){
    console.log('aa');

    $.ajax({
        url: 'http://domain/api.php',
        data: {f:'get_total_playtime',userid:'1',starttime:'2011-01-01',endtime:'2011-12-12'},
        dataType: 'jsonp',
        success: function(data){
            console.log('suceess');
            alert(data.time);
        },
        failure: function(data){
            console.log('failure');
        }
    });


});

If this is not the right way to go about it, can anyone explain the right way?

Inspection on firebug shows that the response to the request is proper JSON

Then that is the problem. You have to return JSONP, not JSON.
