Question

Im attempting to pull in an xml feed that I can load up with php and simpleXML and I can view the direct link, but when I try to use jquery and GET it just times out and I never get a response, the error that comes back is undefined.

Here is the code im using

$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "myurlishere",
dataType: "xml",
timeout: 1000,
contentType: "text/xml",
success: function(xml) {
       alert("in");
  },
   complete: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus) {
               alert(textStatus);
   },
    error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
       alert(errorThrown);
    }
 });

Is the URL in the same domain as the page with your Javascript in it? If not, then the browser won’t let your page access it with simple AJAX.
