I've seen that too and I'm not sure how long it's been that way. I get the same error in the latest FF, IE, and Chrome.
Take a look at the MIT Nobelists example: http://www.simile-widgets.org/exhibit/examples/nobelists/nobelists.html Download the HTML, keep the js script and data pointers to the s-w.org server, and you'll get a syntax error. (I think it's complaining about a ")" or similar.) Point to a local copy of nobelists.js and all works great. Maybe something new in the simile ajax code that prevents remote data sources? Maybe a new browser security feature? - John ************************************************** John Callahan, Geospatial Application Developer Delaware Geological Survey, University of Delaware Email: [email protected] ************************************************** mleden wrote: > If it's truly the same contents in each file, then I guess it must be > some sort of an authentication or general accessibility issue with the > "remote json file". > > The first thing to try is to access the "remote json file", directly > from your browser, via the url in your code. > > HTH, > -Mark > > > On Nov 2, 4:52 am, James Cummings <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hiya, >> >> I'm having a strange problem getting a remote json file to work that >> is identical to a local one. >> >> i.e. >> if I have >> <link href="HOL01-meetings.js" type="application/json" rel="exhibit/data" /> >> >> It works perfectly as expected. >> >> If I have >> >> <link href="http://some.domain.here.com/HOL01-meetings.js"; >> type="application/json" rel="exhibit/data" /> >> >> It just spins forever on 'Working'. >> >> To create the local one all I did was save the remote one from firefox. >> >> Is there something obvious I'm missing? >> > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SIMILE Widgets" group.
