JSONP To Acquire JSON From HTTPS Protocol with JQuery
you can use getJSON for example
$.getJSON('ajax/test.json', function(data) {
$('.result').html('<p>' + data.foo + '</p>'
+ '<p>' + data.baz[1] + '</p>');
});
check complete getJSON documentation http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getJSON/
EDIT
I was wrong... using Jquery.ajax will cause cross-browser issue but not with Jquery.getJSON
http://docs.jquery.com/Release:jQuery_1.2/Ajax#Cross-Domain_getJSON_.28using_JSONP.29
Here is an example of cross-domain get JSON
EDIT
Firefox has a problem with HTTPS, as i know it will be fixed if you send your request like this
$.getJSON('ajax/test.json',{}, function(data) {
$('.result').html('<p>' + data.foo + '</p>'
+ '<p>' + data.baz[1] + '</p>');
});

Hope this helps

I'm trying to acquire a JSON which is being sent from an https secure site,
The client was hoping not to use any Server-side languages (the whole thing in Javascript)
I've read that I must use JSONP in order to load a JSON from a secure site, when using the .ajax function from Jquery.
My first question would be what format do I need to set this JSONP as? Right now my code looks like this:
html =new Object(); html = $.ajax({ url: "https://my-secure.net", async: false, dataType: 'jsonp' }).responseText; //alert(html); alert("myObject is " + html.toSource()); console.log(html);
However, nothing is being alerted, nor is anything being logged in Firebug. Basically I want to be able to manipulate the JSON data. I see the data in the Response under Firebug, but there's an error which says "invalid label." I've read that in order to fix this you encase it in the eval function with extra parantheses but this is not working.
http://b.lesseverything.com/2007/10/25/invalid-label-error-when-eval-json
I also get an error which says my $.ajax request is "undefined" but I can see the data in the response. I suspect this has something to do with how I am grabbing the initial data. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

trrrrrrm over 13 yearsyes, but your script and requested URL should be in the same domain
-
Doug Molineux over 13 yearsAnd if it isn't is there no way to do this? My console and api are in two seperate domains,
-
Doug Molineux over 13 yearsBasically I am seeing the data, I just need to be able to parse it properly
-
Doug Molineux over 13 yearsThank you for your help, I did see this example, and I could pull from this, however when the protocol is HTTPS the response is empty
-
Doug Molineux over 13 yearsI added in jsoncallback get variable and now response is correct again, however, invalid label is back. I tried the eval( '(' + data + ')' ) and its still saying this

Durai Amuthan.H about 10 years@ra_htial I read your comment "but your script and requested URL should be in the same domain ".So does that mean we can not issue cross domain request for https through JSONP.
