Question

I’m building a Django application and am trying to integrate JSON, but I’m having some issues. Django is generating the feed, which is here: http://www.crowdpoint.org/session/1/activeCheck

Here is the JQuery I’m using to pull down the feed. The problem is that neither of the alerts fire, so I don’t think the code is working.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $.getJSON('http://www.crowdpoint.org/session/1/activeCheck', function(data) {
    alert('Test 1')
    $.each(data, function(key, val) {
    alert('Test 2');
    });
});

It’s probably a same origin policy violation. If the JS and the JSON resource are on the same domain, you should be using a local path not a fully qualified URI. For example…

instead of this

$.getJSON('http://www.crowdpoint.org/session/1/activeCheck' ...

use this

$.getJSON('/session/1/activeCheck' ...

My guess is you’re accessing the originating URL on http://crowdpoint.org/ or something else that isn’t exactly http://www.crowdpoint.org/

If the script and resource are on different domains, you’ll need to use JSONP which would involve some changes to the way your service responds.
