Trying to make a call and retrieve a very simple, one line, JSON file.
$(document).ready(function() {
jQuery.ajax({
type: \'GET\',
url: \'http://wncrunners.com/admin/colors.json\' ,
dataType: \'jsonp\',
success: function(data) {
alert(\'success\');
}
});
});//end document.ready
Here\'s the RAW Request:
GET http://wncrunners.com/admin/colors.json?callback=jQuery16406345664265099913_1319854793396&_=1319854793399 HTTP/1.1

Here\'s the RAW Response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

ETag: \"166a2402-10-4eaaeaff\"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 16
Content-Type: text/plain
Connection: close
{\"red\" : \"#f00\"}
The JSON is coming back in the response (red : #f00), but Chrome reports Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token : colors.json:1
If I navigate directly to url itself, the JSON is returned and is displayed in the browser.
If I paste the contents of colors.json into JSLINT, the json validates.
Any ideas why I can\'t get this error and I never make it to the success callback?
EDIT - the jQuery.ajax() call above runs perfect at jsfiddle.net, and returns the alert \'success\' as expected.
EDIT 2 - this URL works fine \'http://api.wunderground.com/api/8ac447ee36aa2505/geolookup/conditions/q/IA/Cedar_Rapids.json\' I noticed that it returned as TYPE: text/javascript and Chrome did not throw the Unexpected Token. I\'ve tested several other url\'s and the ONLY one that does not throw the Unexptected Token is the wunderground that is returned as TYPE: text/javascript.
Streams returned as text/plain and application/json are not being parsed correctly.
