Question

I have a problem with a Javascript request to the Google Map Api Web Service : if I have the HTML file on my computer it works, but it doesn’t work online.

Here’s the code :

url = 'http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Senador+Francisco+Quindimil+Y+Carabobo+Por+Carabobo,Ciudad+Autonoma+de+Buenos+Aires,Argentina&sensor=false';

$.get(url, function(data) {
  $('#result').html(data);
  alert('Load was performed.');
}, 'text');

This sample is just supposed to load the “data” in the “result” element. When it is offline, the “data” has text, but not when it is online.

Could one of you guys help ?

Thanks a lot !

You are experiencing the same origin policy. You’ll need to setup a server-side proxy (HTTP handler) to hit up Google Maps out in the wild.
