The example URL he gave does return a view result. But you might be right. Luis, I do not see an index.html file attached in that design document. One point of friction with CouchDB is the web browser same-origin restrictions. For example, if you load index.html from a foreign site and try to getJSON from your couch, you will not get the query result. Another clue is that you are using a full, absolute URL in your example. That is okay, but perhaps you did that because your web page is from a different site? -- Iris Couch
