Chrome : "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token : "

Question

Running on Chrome I get this error message:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token

This is the part of my code which is responsible for the request:

function wetter() {

  $.ajax({
    'Accept': 'application/json',
    type: 'GET',
    url: '[here comes the url',
    dataType: 'jsonp',
    success: function (data) {
      //content
    }
  });
};

is there any other code inside the block of the `success` function, that may be causing the issue — driangle, Sep 14 '12 at 19:32
Probably doesn't like your `'Accept'`. What line did it tell you the error was on? — Jack, Sep 14 '12 at 19:32

You are trying to make a jsonp request to a script that sends json, similar to this. You cant just drop a p after the json and expect it to work.

@DariaDuda that's suppose to happen, read up on [Same Origin Policy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy) and [Cross-Origin Resource Sharing](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-Origin_Resource_Sharing) – Musa Sep 14 '12 at 19:44
@DariaDuda the only way this will work is if you use a browser that doesn't enforce same origin policy or you use a serverside proxy – Musa Sep 14 '12 at 20:00
But my project requirement is to use a webkit browser, so chrome or safari :( – Daria Duda Sep 14 '12 at 20:07

The datatype it's receiving is probably not what it expects. You may be returning a JSON object while the expected result is JSON with padding (JSONP). You can either try returning JSONP type data or change the datatype in your code above to JSON.

I have changed my function: $.getJSON('http://api.wetter.com/forecast/weather/city/DE0001516/project/fakultaetvierboard/cs/4e7d520eea090e2bb8a8a8c5fc981b12/output/json?callback=?' but it still doesn't work – Daria Duda Sep 14 '12 at 19:58
