Jquery $.get or $.ajax not working in Internet Explorer
ajax, internet-explorer, jquery
Solution
@Iden Gozlan, your answer sounds good, but my feeble mind got confused.
@Erik and @charlietfl your suggestions to JSONP got me down the right path. It definitely is a cross domain scripting issue. Can't understand why IE was the only one to not allow this. I edited my code as such and all worked out great!
$.ajax({
url: 'http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?api_key={apikey}&method=flickr.collections.getTree&user_id=66970820%40N03&collection_id=66947766-72157631850748939&jsoncallback=doSomeGreatStuff',
dataType: "jsonp"
});
function doSomeGreatStuff(response) {
// do some great stuff with the json response
console.log( response.collections.collection[0].id );
}

Problem
I've been running this code in IE 9 without luck. I've looked at all the posts about UTF-8 fixing and such but to no avail. Any thoughts? ``` $.get({ url: 'http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?api_key={apikey}&method=flickr.collections.getTree&user_id=66970820%40N03&collection_id=66947766-72157631850748939', success: function () { console.log('success!'); } }).done(function () { console.log('done'); }).fail(function () { console.log('fail') }); ``` It works just fine in Safari, FF and Chrome. When pasting the URL into IE, the response is fine.
