copied!<p>[UPDATE] Derp. I think I pointed out several outstanding issues here, but must admit I still wasn't quite catching onto the problem of cross site.</p> <p>The final piece of the puzzle is using a proxy so PHP can get the xml. So this isn't a javascript only solution, but mostly it is: <a href="http://benalman.com/projects/php-simple-proxy/" rel="nofollow">http://benalman.com/projects/php-simple-proxy/</a> [/UPDATE]</p> <p>I'd prefer you don't give up on this for the wrong reason. You'll remember that the X in AJAX stands for XML :)</p> <p>So two ideas based on duskwuff's commments. </p> <ul> <li>You surely can parse XML with javascript. The function you are using already supports 'xml' as a datatype. </li> <li>It seems like you are going wrong with the callback part. You can pass a callback function to either complete, success, and/or error.</li> </ul> <p>Here's the code:</p> <pre><code>$.ajax({ type: 'GET', url: requestURL, dataType: 'xml', error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){ console.log(textStatus); }, success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR){ console.log(data); } }); </code></pre> <p>Your more pressing problem is in the authentication, but perhaps you will be able to get more details now using the error function and it's errorThrown argument.</p> <p>My recommendation is to see if you can get the URL generated in another context and compare that to what you have to see if you're doing it right (it's been a few months, but I thought I remember there being an amazon tool that generated the request URL for you).</p>
