getJSON() callback not working

Description

Hey guys.

<script type="text/javascript">

$('#jsonDIV').text('Loading JSON...');

$.getJSON('json.js', function(json){

$('#jsonDIV').text('JSON complete.');

});

</script>

When I run the above code in 1.4.1, the "jsonDIV" text does not change; i.e. the callback does not execute. In Firebug, you can see that json.js is downloaded.

I meant to mention this code worked in 1.3.2.

You're passing around malformed JSON. "{ ok: true }" is malformed, it would need to be:

{ "ok": true }

Thanks, that fixed it.

We generally used this method to pass around JavaScript object literals without conforming to JSON standards.

I guess we shall obey the almighty Crockford.
