    <p>I am trying to use the getJSON function in jQuery to import some data and trigger a callback function. The callback function doesn't run. However, if I try the same thing with the get function, it works fine. Strangely, it works with the get function even when I pass "json" as the type. Why is this happening? I tested the following file in Firefox 3 and IE 7:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"&gt; &lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=UTF-8'&gt; &lt;title&gt;ajax test&lt;/title&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;input type="button" id="test1" value="get"&gt; &lt;input type="button" id="test2" value="getJSON"&gt; &lt;input type="button" id="test3" value="get with json type"&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; $("#test1").click(function() { $.get("index.html", function(response) { alert('hi'); //works } ) }); $("#test2").click(function() { $.getJSON("index.html", function(response) { alert('hi'); //doesn't work } ) }); $("#test3").click(function() { $.get("index.html", function(response) { alert('hi'); //works }, "json" ) }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>This seems to happen no matter what URL I access, as long as it's on the same domain. I tried passing some data and that doesn't make a difference.</p> <p>Of course I can work around the problem by using the get function like I did in my 3rd test function, but I am still curious as to why this is happening.</p> <p>I know there is a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/572991/jquery-getjson-doesnt-trigger-callback">similar question</a> asked here but it didn't answer my question.</p>

    3. COMaybe I should have been more clear. index.html is the file I posted above. I am just trying to access the document itself, which is not the most useful thing. I just put that there because it was simple and convenient. Again, it doesn't seem to matter what I put for the URL. Does the json need to be valid?

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.
