Question

I call

$.getJSON(‘http://localhost:8000/polls/?callback=?’, function(data)

and recieve an error:

Error: parsererror errorThrown: jQuery16103397698865741826_1320825997345 was not called

If I call a json file that is next to my html file it works fine.
If I call the google example url: http://www.highcharts.com/samples/data/jsonp.php?filename=aapl-c.json&callback=? it also works.

Any ideas? I think that maybe it has something to do with DJango or the way I return from my server side code.

index(request):

    a = {}
    a[1320675940] = 1.8
    a[1320675941] = 2.8
    a[1320675942] = 38
    a[1320675943] = 4.8
    a[1320675944] = 5.8
    a[1320675945] = 6.8
    a[1320675946] = 7.8

    data = simplejson.dumps(a)

    return HttpResponse(data, mimetype="text/plain")
    #return HttpResponse(data, mimetype="json")
    #return HttpResponse(str(data), mimetype="text/plain")

Answer 1

You are returning JSON (with a plain text content-type), not JSON-P.

You need to look at the value of callback in the query string and wrap the JSON in that function call.

e.g. for ?callback=foo:

foo(/* Your JSON here */);

You should also use the correct content type (application/javascript).
