Exactly. The "straight" JSON, delivered until now by my server, didn't 
work the very first attempt. Reason: I was missing the assignment 
statement, so the plain JSON object "{lat=xxx, lon=xxx}" had to be 
delivered padded with a variable assignment, e.g. "data = {lat=xxx, 
lon=xxx}" by the server.

But Micheal: Why this?

JSON is not executable JavaScript and cannot be used cross-domain without a
proxy.


I think, "cross-domaining" is of course possible, but it is probably 
hard to deal with the results? The server side is called in any case... 
Or do I catch that wrong? For me XMLHttpRequest is not cross domain and 
cannot be used w/o proxy, that's for sure.
