The problem with using the shortcut methods for new people is that it does
not give you any error feedback. I would suggest that you use the $.ajax
method till you get used to the process, it will allow you to set for
errors.
But in the mean time, put the below before you getJSON method:
$("#msg").ajaxError(function(event, request, settings){
$(this).append("<li>Error requesting page " + settings.url + "</li>");
});
just create a div with the id of msg. This "should" print out what the
error is. If not, then go with the $.ajax method.
$.ajax({
url: URL,
dataType : 'json',
data : {},
success : function(data, textStatus){
},
error : function(x, txt, e){
alert(txt);
}
});
