local app with remote $.ajax request

[Julian Avram]

If I open index.html from the www folder in safari, everything works
properly. If I open it in the simulator or the device, things fail.
The jquery library is loaded:
<script type="application/x-javascript" src="js/jquery.min.js"></
script>
<script type="application/x-javascript" src="js/jquery-ui.min.js"></
script>

and works properly because I'm running jquery tabs on the same page.
Here is the json request: $.ajax(
{
type: "POST",
url: "http://MYURL/get_json.php",
dataType: "json",
data: "var=" + myVar,
success: function(msg)
{
var_dump(msg);

}

});

Have you tried with the $.getJSON?

This way I shouldn't have any problems, you just need to add ?callback=? at the end of the url and it should work fine.

Thanks that worked. I'm making a $.getJSON request to:
http://myur.com/getjson.php?callback=&var1=test

Any ideea why $.ajax doesn't work?

I think it's to avoid cross-site scripting. Although you specify the type of return in the $.ajax, it throws an error if you do it to a external site. In order to avoid that they created the getJSON method.

Another useful and elegant way to do it is jsonp. I use it a lot in
mootools, probably jquery can do this too.
