Question

I\'m trying to get a currency rate with the Google Currency Calculator using the following jquery (dummy) code:

    $.getJSON(\"http://www.googl         


        

Answer 1

Minor additional point of info.

I got to this question because I got this error trying to post to my own server.

Solution: make sure hostname matches in ajax call.

Exmaple:

//This failed

$.post("http://domain.com/index.php/count/",

//This succeeded (the page this was called from was www.domain.com/.....)

$.post("http://www.domain.com/index.php/count/",
