“not well-formed” warning when loading client-side JSON in Firefox via jQuery.ajax

Question

I am using jQuery\'s ajax method to acquire a static JSON file. The data is loaded from the local file system, hence there is no server, so I can\'t change the MIME type.

Answer 1

Local files and scripting don't mix. Way too much browser security stuff and other weirdness involved. If you want to test things, you should run your stuff through a HTTP server. Installing one locally might be a good idea.
