Question

I use

 $("#result").html(ajax_load).load(loadUrl, null, function (responseText) {
            $('body').css('overflow-y', 'scroll');
        });

to load a page inside a div and from the loaded page I tried to use:

$.ajax({
    url: "link",
    data: { 'device': device, 'latestDate': latestDate },
    dataType:   "jsonp"
})

and

$.getJSON equivalent.

Sometimes I can observe that the link is requested from $.ajax but I never managed to perform the request from $.getJSON.

Is it a really bad technique to call $.getJSON from code that is loaded dynamically?

Thanks.

No. $.getJSON is really just a shorthand for $.ajax. Its the same function with some minor syntax candy to make your life easier. If $.ajax is working for you but $.getJSON is not, then I have to conclude that your $.getJSON statement is not really equivalent.
