I'm calling a classic .asp page from jquery to return a list (using JSONP). I want to use JSONP because of the same origin policy that causes problems when my website is viewed through google translate. The problem with all of the solutions I have found is that they assume the asp page is using VBscript as the server side language. I am using javascript as the server side language, in asp, to connect to a db and return results.
I have tried a few different methods that have only returned 500 server errors. Here is my jquery call:
$.ajax({
dataType: 'jsonp',
url: 'website/page.asp',
success: function () {
alert(data);
},
});
And this my page.asp:
<%@ language="Javascript" %>
<script language="javascript" runat="server" src='json2.js'></script>
<script language="javascript" runat="server">
var jsonValue = eval('('hello world')');
Response.Write(jsonValue);
</script>
All I want to do is create a simple hello world JSONP call so that I can start to modify it to include data from a query I am doing to a database. Does anyone have a simple version of this? Is this possible?
