    <p>Hopefully that title isn't <em>too</em> cryptic. What's happening is I have a jQuery AJAX script that I'm trying to use to access an API on a remote server, which returns a JSON response. However, the API returns the JSON as MIME type "text/html" (in the response header) instead of "application/json". It would seem obvious that I simply need to change the returned content type from text to JSON, to make the AJAX call interpret the data correctly.</p> <p>Unfortunately, this is not the case. I have tried this in a multitude of different ways, all of which fail. The closest I've gotten to getting this API call to work is when the debugger tells me "Resource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME type text/html". And the AJAX call errors out with my debug message that dumps the jqXHR object in JSON format, which tells me: <code>{"readyState":4,"status":200,"statusText":"parsererror"}</code></p> <p>Here is an example of my code (although I have changed the code many various ways, in my attempts at getting it to work, but this version seems to be the closest to correct):</p> <pre><code>$.ajax({ type: 'GET', url: 'http://username:api-key@www.kanbanpad.com/api/v1/projects.json', contentType: 'application/json', dataType: 'jsonp', converters: { 'jsonp': jQuery.parseJSON, }, success: function(data) { alert(data); }, error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) { console.log(JSON.stringify(jqXHR)); console.log(textStatus+': '+errorThrown); } }); </code></pre> <p>If anyone can figure out what I need to do differently to make this work, I will be extremely grateful.</p> <p><strong>It may also be worth noting that if you copy/paste the API URL into a browser address bar and hit go, it gives the proper JSON response with the proper response header ("application/json")</strong></p>

    1. COHave you tried simply setting `dataType: "html"`, and then parse it in success?

    2. COAbsolutely. If I do that, I get a origin error. This is a cross-domain request, don't forget, so `dataType` pretty much has to be `jsonp` or `json` with a `callback=?` on the URL which just makes jQuery convert it to `jsonp` automatically. I also tried adding `callback=?` while dataType = `html`, but still no luck.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
