jsfiddle - Simple Ajax request

Question

I am just a beginner with jquery and am trying to call simple request. Here's a jsfiddle:

I am using this code:

HTML:
<button>Click me</button>

and

jQuery:
$("button").click(function() {
    $.ajax({
        url: "http://jsfiddle.net/echo/html/",
        success: function(result) {
            alert("Data: " + result);
        }
    });
});

But it doesn't work. Reading documentation doesn't help me. Can anybody suggest solution?

Thank you very much

First of all, you have to pick jQuery library from the left sidebar :) — Adaz, May 04 '13 at 09:49
Do you see the first select box on the left side? It says *"No-Library (pure JS)"*. You have to change it and select to include jQuery. Please read the documentation (of anything) before you use it: http://doc.jsfiddle.net/. — Felix Kling, May 04 '13 at 09:51

These are the reasons for your problem:

You have to refer the jQuery library reference for the jsfiddle
You cant use absolute urls for ajax requests. Please refer the following answer for more information.

$.ajax call working fine in IE8 and Doesn't work in firefox and chrome browsers

You need to import latest jQuery library.

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>

Set jquery from the left sidebar
remove the domain from "url"

Example jsfiddle.net/xVrNL/3/

(sorry it's not a link but I keep getting a message saying it has to be wrapped with a code even when it was..)

Result: enter image description here

after removing domain, alert popped up, but it returned no data – Jozko Golonka May 04 '13 at 09:56
Because there's no data, it's just an echo – Adaz May 04 '13 at 09:57
You have to put some code directly on your post to have a Fiddle link. – pdegand59 May 04 '13 at 09:57
I did try that as well.. :/ – Adaz May 04 '13 at 10:00
