getJSON() doesn't execute callback function when formatted certain ways

'''This doesn't work:'''

$.getJSON("ForgotYourPassword.php", function() {

console.log("Won't be outputted");

});

but this does:

$.getJSON("ForgotYourPassword.php", login_forgotYourPassword2());

login_forgotYourPassword2=function()

{

console.log("Will be outputted");

}

Resolved.

JSON was improperly formatted.

As confirmed by the original ticket submitter, this issue has now been resolved. Marking as worksforme/user error.

For good measure, the only reason your second example "worked" was because the function expression was being invoked with ()

Thank you! Apologies about the false alarm.
