Now that I've got this working I tried to replace
it with a jQuery
AJAX
call (test.php returns some canned JSON data):
$j(document).ready(function() {
alert("Ready...");
var
strURL="http://test.server.com/test.php".php";
alert("Making ajax call...");
$j.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: strURL,
async: false,
cache: false,
dataType: 'json',
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert(textStatus);
}
success: function(data,status,request){
$j( '#p1' ).html(data);
}
})
})
Nothing is returned, not even an error. Is this supported on MW
1.6.15?
Thanks - Tod
Likely not related to MediaWiki in any way.
Cross-domain requests are not allowed by browser due to security issues.
If strURL is in fact within the domain you execute from, then
something is wrong.
There is a way to get data from other domains, but it requires the
other domain
offering a method to do so. One popular way is a callback parameter
which is
called with a JSON object.
