I have a url, the data of which page i need as a json object. I ve tried xmlhttprequest and ajaxobject both but doesnt work. It doesnt even give a responseText when I give it as an alert Ill post both the code snippets here. url = http://mydomain.com:port/a/b/c

AJAX :

var ajaxRequest = new ajaxObject(URL);

ajaxRequest.callback = function (responseText,responseStatus) {

alert(responseStatus);

JSONData = responseText.parseJSON();

processData(JSONData); }

USING xmlhttprequest:

var client = new XMLHttpRequest();

client.open('GET',URL,true );

data = JSON.parse(client.responseText);

alert(data.links.length);

can someone please help me out with this. I understand cross scripting may be an issue, but how to come over it? and shouldn't then too it should give the alerts as zero or null
