Question

Im getting a JSON from a server, and when I type the url into the browser, I can see the JSON data. And when I use curl to get the JSON I can also see the data. But when I try to use a html page locally to access the data i get an error. I’ve tried using

$.support.cors = true;

but I still get an error, is there anyway I can solve this possible cross domain problem?

Thanks,
Matt

Use JSONP (JSON with padding) for crossdomain requests instead. Also see the jquery plugin for easier jsonp handling (even basic error handling). Here is a nice example page.
