OK I have a simple script at http://kleague.org/test/
Type a movie name and it should output the movie name, year, and get the movie poster URL (if there is one, there usually is.)
Well, I just tried it and I got a 403 error on the image. it GOT the image but it didn’t display it. What am I doing wrong?

JSONP requires a function/script to be returned. Loading an image through AJAX has no use. Just appending the image itself will do the trick.
