Question

I just can’t get the results from jquery.get() function and can’t figure out why.

Here’s the code:

$('#some_button').live('click', function (e){
  var nr="some_number";
  var id="some_id";
  $.get('http://www.somelink.com',{PAGE_ID: id, nr: nr}, function(data) {
    alert(data);
  });
});

So, when I click the button, HTTP request is sent and after 10 seconds I get the reply and the result that I need with HTTP 200 OK (I used wireshark), but the data is not alerted back to the browser.

Any ideas why?

You appear to be using $.get to obtain information from a different domain, which is prohibited by all respectable browsers. You can only use $.get on same-domain requests.
