Question

I’m loading a large number of items on a page through JSON, but it isn’t working. This is my first time using JSON and I figured JSON was just a big object so I copied my object that I had before in a variable into a file and names it fun.js.

You can check out the JSON here:

I’m using jQuery to get the JSON:

$.getJSON('fun.js', function(data){
alert(data)
});

Nothing is being alert, in the matter of fact…the alert isn’t happening at all. Anyone know why?

Answer 1

For starters, your JSON doesnt validate. Go paste it here and fix your errors: http://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/

Secondly, user jQuery.Ajax to which you can pass onError parameter so you’ll get a warning that JSON didn’t go through.
