jQuery ajax is making connection, but the response is blank?

Question

Hi all,
i'm trying to make a test with ajax response using an external array as a config file...

But it isn't working, i'm getting always a blank response...
Can anyone point me the reason?

Here is the link of jsBin test: http://jsbin.com/udanu/2/edit

Answer 1

It looks like you have bumped into the Same Origin Policy. You cannot make Ajax requests to hosts outside your domain, unless you use JSONP, or some other technique to get around the policy.

You may want to check out the following Stack Overflow post for a few popular solutions to work around the SOP (mainly the JSONP, CORS and Reverse Proxy methods):

Answer 2

As you are trying to get data from another domain, maybe you should try using "jsonp" instead of "text" as a dataType.

EDIT: didn't see the previous answer.
