getJSON and ajax not working in IE

Question

I am trying to get getJSON working on my IE, but I read that IE doesn't support it that well. So I decided to use ajax instead.

My code is:

$.ajax({ dataType: 'json', url: 'http://openexchangerates.org/latest.json', success: function(data) { alert('done'); } });

Thanks

Where did you read that? I'm not aware of any such issues. What is your problem? — SLaks

You cannot make crossdomain ajax calls. Take a look at the top post at this SO post. If you have a specific need to do so, you need to use some sort of sockets. This can be file_get_contents in php or another server-side language

I had this problem just the other day. Internet Explorer doesn't like you doing cross-domain requests with AJAX.

I solved it by having a server-side script do the cross-domain API request, and then call the result of that script in my AJAX call.

this is not a IE issue, its the design of ajax itself.

I'm sorry, but why does that deserve a down-vote? I had a cross-domain request working in Chrome and Firefox, but not IE. Therefore, it's specific to IE.
