Question

var array = new Array();
$.get('comics.txt', function(data) {
    array = data.split(",");
    for(var i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
    {
        var $page = array[i];
        $.ajax({
            url: $page,
            success: function(data) {
                alert(data);
            }
        });
    }
});

comics.txt is a file which contains some urls, separated by commas.

In the above code, the $.ajax call does not work; $page is the correct url, but it’s not working in the context. alert(data) causes a blank alert box to come up. I need help figuring out a way to get the data from each page in the array called array.

Thanks ahead of time.

Answer 1

is $page a url on your domain?… if not, you cannot do ajax…

same domain policy

If so, how can I get data via javascript from foreign URLs?

you have yo get it from your server…

for example..

var array = new Array();
$.get('comics.txt', function(data) {
    array = data.split(",");
    for(var i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
    {
        var $page = array[i];
        $.ajax({
            url: 'your/server/url.php?page=' + $page,
            success: function(data) {
                alert(data);
            }
        });
    }
});

your/server/url.php can get the page for you…
