jQuery AJAX with two domains
- by Andrew Burns
OK here is the situation: I have an externally hosted CMS which works great for 99% of our needs. However on the more advanced things I inject my own CSS+JS and do magic. The problem I am running into is loading a simple HTML page from jQuery.ajax() calls. It appears to work in the sense that no warnings or errors are thrown; however in my success handler (which IS ran), the response is blank!
I have been scratching my head for the whole morning trying to figure this out and the only thing I can think of is that is has something to do with the cross domain issue (even though it appears to work).
Injected JavaScript:
$(document).ready(function() {
doui();
});
function doui() {
$.ajax({
url: 'http://apps.natronacounty-wy.gov/css/feecalc/ui.htm',
cache: false,
success: ajax_createUI,
charset: "utf-8",
error: function(e) {
alert(e);
}
});
}
function ajax_createUI(data, textStatus) {
alert(data);
$("#ajax-content").html(data);
}
My ajax_createUI() success handler is called and textStatus is "success"; however data is empty.
This JS file resides @ http://apps.natronacounty-wy.gov/css/js/feecalc.js however the CMS website (which gets the JS injected into it) resides @ http://www.natronacounty-wy.gov/
Am I just being stupid or is it a bug that it looks like it should be working but isn't?
