get data from external URL with jquery

Question

I have an external URL that gets parameters and prints a result like this: {"result": "not_avail"}

I'm trying to use jQuery to get the result like this:

$.get("http://www.thepage.html?id=2&name=david", function(data){
    alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
});

But nothing happens, I'm not getting an alert and not getting any errors in firebug. How can I solve this?

Due to same domain policy you wont get a result, try looking into jsonp — Arnoud Kooi

Due to browser security restrictions, most "Ajax" requests are subject to the same origin policy; the request can not successfully retrieve data from a different domain, subdomain, or protocol.

from official documentation

Try to use relative path tou your script (on same domain)

I agree with @arthur :-), if you really need this then make a php proxy script on your domain.

thanks i used this code and it is working :-) $jsonurl = "mysite.com?id=1"; $json = file_get_contents($jsonurl,0,null,null); $json_output = json_decode($json);

Arthur is correct, if you are running PHP you can try something like this also for corssdomain ajax

Try getJSON

$.getJSON("http://yoururl",function(data){
    $("#selector").data("JSONP",data);
});

To return data in JSON format you can use json_encode() in PHP.
