Basic example of using .ajax() with JSONP?

Question

Please could someone help me work out how to get started with JSONP?

Code:

$(\'document\').ready(function() {
    var pm_url = \'http://twitter.com/s         


        

Answer 1

There is even easier way how to work with JSONP using jQuery

$.getJSON("http://example.com/something.json?callback=?", function(result){
   //response data are now in the result variable
   alert(result);
});

The ? on the end of the URL tells jQuery that it is a JSONP request instead of JSON. jQuery registers and calls the callback function automatically.

For more detail refer to the jQuery.getJSON documentation.
