Question

Just getting into the PhoneGap development on the Mac. I have a .NET service hosted on server that does not have DNS assigned. Can I use the ip address in phonegap.plist? My code works in browser and even as a web version on the actual iphone. Soon as I compile from xcode it seems to not be working (not even on emulator). I ran this js through lint and now im in a spot of bother… Here is what I am trying to do.

I call GetEstimate on button click:

function GetEstimate(From, To) {
"use strict";
varType    = "GET";
varUrl     = "http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx/service.svc/" + 
"GetBasicEst?pickupPostalCode="+ From + "&dropoffPostalCode="+ To +"";
varContentType    = "application/json; charset=utf-8";
varDataType = "jsonp";
varProcessData = true;
alert("GetEstimate");
new CallService();}

function CallService(){
alert("Inside Call Service");
"use strict";
$.ajax({
       type          : varType, //GET or POST or PUT or DELETE verb
       url           : varUrl, // Location of the service
       data          : varData, //Data sent to server
       contentType   : varContentType, // content type sent to server
       dataType      : varDataType, //Expected data format from server
       processdata   : varProcessData, //True or False
       success       : function(data) {//On Successfull service call
       alert("Success");
       var innerHtml = "";
       var rhigh=data.EstimateHigh;
       var rlow=data.EstimateLow;
       alert(rlow);
       $("#rHigh").html(rhigh);
       $("#rLow").html(rlow);                       
       $("#rHigh").formatCurrency();
       $("#rLow").formatCurrency();                 
       },
       //error: ServiceFailed // When Service call fails
       });}

The alert inside CallService does fire then it just seems to stop there…does not call $.ajax(

I could be way out in left field so any suggestions are helpful.

I got it !! Drew: I marked you answer about the * as correct. Thank you for that. I tried a few things to get it working so I will list what I did. I changed the IP to be a dns resolving name, I took Ip out of Phonegap.plist so just the * was there. I then added a line of code to ajax call jsonp : ‘callback’. Not sure which one did it but its working now.
