This whole jsonp thing is quite confusing...

Here is what I want to do:

  • I have a class DataRetriever
  • The class has a method GetData
  • GetData makes a jsonp request with the following code:

    var new_tag = document.createElement('script');
    new_tag.type = 'text/javascript';
    new_tag.src = 'http://somesite.com/somemethod?somedata';
    // Add the element
    var bodyRef = document.getElementsByTagName("body").item(0);
    bodyRef.appendChild(new_tag);
    

Now, the jsonp data from the server somesite.com can call a function in my code with the data. The problem is, how does the data get delivered to the instance of DataRetriever that requested it?

I'm really stuck here.
