I’m having issues getting this JSON object to load via JSONP in Chrome 18

  • 0

I’m having issues getting this JSON object to load via JSONP in Chrome 18 (latest stable). For some reason it presents me the error: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token :. According to JSONLint, the response is a valid JSON object.

Here is the code example: http://jsfiddle.net/jakebellacera/2j7DL/1/

To add: I’m attempting to get around cross-domain, I have permissions to both servers, but we cannot allow cross-domain on a specific domain for specific reasons. If there is a better way to do this, please let me know.

    The server at lpunderground.com is returning JSON, not JSONP.

    What’s special about JSONP is that it’s a valid javascript statement – the data returned from the server is wrapped in a function call (or sometimes a variable assignment) and when returned it is evaluated as normal javascript. Typically the client passes the server in the request parameters a function name to use in wrapping the data.

    See the Wikipedia article and the jQuery docs for the details.
