I have a url which gives json data…

I want to hit that URL from javascript but I am getting this error :

character encoding of the plain text document was not declared. The document will render with garbled text in some browser configurations if the document contains characters from outside the US-ASCII range. The character encoding of the file needs to be declared in the transfer protocol or file needs to use a byte order mark as an encoding signature

Code :

function a(){
$.getJSON(url,function(data) { alert(data);});
}

full code :

<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" ></meta>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script>

function a(){
$.getJSON(url,function(data) { alert(data);});
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text"/>
<input type="submit" value="search" onclick="a()"/>
</body>
</html>

    Your code seems correct.

    Are you making a fully qualified URL call?

    If you are making a fully qualified URL call, make sure of the following.

    1. You are calling the same domain(same server). You can not make a
      simple JSON call to another domain.
    2. If you want to use a cross domain call, you’ll have to use JSONp

    Update:
    This is not working since it is a cross domain call.

    Work around for this

    JavaScript

    Create a function

    function getMyData(data) {
    alert(data);
    //Do the magic with your data
}

    Server side

    On server end wrap your data inside function syntax

    getMyData("Enter your data here");

    JavaScript

    Then create a script tag and add a link to your cross-domain page

     <script type="text/javascript"
         src="cross ref url">
 </script>

    For reference: wikipedia

    EDIT: Another option is Create a proxy on your domain. ie create a page in your domain which internally calls the cross-domain page and return the same data to your Ajax call.
