I am trying to implement a static javascript / jQuery script for testing my ajax functions. This would be for instance somewhere in my home directory and would contain a bunch of ajax requests to my localhost:
function getSomethingAjax(){
$.get('http://127.0.0.1:8888/getSomething',{} , function(json){
getSomethingCallback(json);
}, "json");
}
My Firebug gives my an error like this: firebug screenshot http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/4934/tinygrabscreenshot06061.png But if I open the page manually (just type in browser: 127.0.0.1:8888/getSomething) I get the matching return. What is the difference between accessing the url? I the ajax request waiting for a specific return value?
The page making the Ajax request and page requested must be in the same domain.
The browser will block any ajax request that violates this.
Just a suggestion: I would suggest to use a server side language to do the tests. This will allow you to make call to the application without having to keep the test scripts in the same domain.
Maybe your returning address doesn't match yours. If you send a request using 127.0.0.1 then the server returns localhost it will fail. Try using localhost instead of the IP?
