Question

the following code works on firefox,chrome and IE9 on my PC.
But the callback function doesn’t return when I run it in WP7 device using phonegap.

function downloadXML(
$.ajax({
    async: true,
    cache: false,
    type: 'GET',
    dataType: "xml",
    crossDomain: true,
    url: yql_url('http://some-cross-domain-url'),
    error:function(xhr, status, errorThrown){
            navigator.notification.alert(errorThrown+'\n'+status+'\n'+xhr.statusText);
        },
    success: function (xml) {
            navigator.notification.alert("successful");
        }
    });
    }
    yql_url = function(source_url) {
    return "http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select * from xml where url=\"" + source_url + "\"";
    }

Does anyone point out what EXTRA has to be done to make it run on WP7 ? THX

OR let me re-frame the question,

Can someone give me a code snippet which works on WP7 with phonegap that can fetch XML from a cross domain URL.
I have been trying a lot to make it run on WP7 without any success 🙁

Answer 1

You need to set the following to true:

$.support.cors
and
$.mobile.allowCrossDomainPages
