jquery .get not getting

Question

Not sure what I'm missing? trying to get html from remote domain (I know about cross domain ext...) but this as worked in the past...

Can't see where I'm going wrong:

CODE:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no">
    <link href="http://jqmdesigner.appspot.com/gk/lib/jquery.mobile/1.4.2/flatui/jquery.mobile.flatui.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.2/jquery.mobile-1.4.2.min.js">     </script>
    <title>get the html from a website</title>
    <script>
$( document ).ready(function() {            
$.get("https://www.miemssalert.com/chats/Default.aspx?hdRegion=5",  function(data) {
            $(".ui-content").html( data );
            alert( "Load was performed." );
        })
            .done(function() {
                alert( "second success" );
            })
            .fail(function() {
                alert( "error" );
            })
            .always(function() {
                alert( "finished" );
            });
});
    </script>
</head>    
<body>          
<!-- Page: home  -->
    <div id="home" data-role="page">
        <div data-role="header" data-position="fixed" data-theme="b">
        <h3>GET WEB DATA</h3>
        </div>
        <div role="main" class="ui-content"> 
        </div>
    </div>           
</body>

So what is wrong? Do you get an error? Or is the result empty? Or what? — Kristoffer Jälén, Jun 24 '14 at 20:04
yes - but this has always returned html from Safari browser. — BarclayVision, Jun 24 '14 at 20:20

@BarclayVision ALWAYS include relevant errors inside the question. it shouldn't take 43 minutes for us to figure out that this is simply a CORS setup problem when you have a blatantly obvious error in your console telling you that it is one. — Kevin B, Jun 24 '14 at 20:48
@Kevin B I understand your frustration with the error on a different browser, I didn't test on Firefox until after I had posted and replied to your first post, but thanks for your efforts. — BarclayVision, Jun 24 '14 at 21:06

You are missing the document ready:

$( document ).ready(function() {
     $.get( .....

});

Since the ui-content div isn't loaded yet there is no place to display the data.

I have updated question, yea, I have that as well, still .fails! – BarclayVision Jun 24 '14 at 20:12
While not having this can cause a race condition, not having it won't impact the success/failure of the ajax request. – Kevin B Jun 24 '14 at 20:13
Hmm, do you get any console errors? – jtheman Jun 24 '14 at 20:13
no - no error, just the .get .fail – BarclayVision Jun 24 '14 at 20:16
my alerts are firing on .fail and .always – BarclayVision Jun 24 '14 at 20:17

Your ajax returns an error, can it be due to the good old Same origin Policy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy – jtheman Jun 24 '14 at 20:26

The URL in $.get seems to be unavailable. Just open it in a browser and see that it does not give you a result (or answer at all). That's probably why the code has been working before.

The URL https://www.miemssalert.com/chats/Default.aspx?hdRegion=5 is working fine. – jtheman Jun 24 '14 at 20:37
Now it is. It wasn't before, for me atleast. Hopefully the code is working now. – Kristoffer Jälén Jun 24 '14 at 20:38
no not working and URL has been tested several times... – BarclayVision Jun 24 '14 at 20:43
I do see a cross domain error in firebug on firefox browser, but like I said, I have used the same code in mobile phone gap projects to get remote html with no problem... Safari Browser has always worked. – BarclayVision Jun 24 '14 at 20:45
@BarclayVision the fact that it works in another browser doesn't change the fact that you have a cross-domain error. Most likely your CORS setup is incorrect. – Kevin B Jun 24 '14 at 20:46
not sure what you mean by "my" CORS setup? wouldn't that be on the remote server that I don't have access too? – BarclayVision Jun 24 '14 at 21:03

Yes, it would be on the remote server. So, "their" instead of "your" I guess. Can you open the network tab and post the response headers in your question? – Kevin B Jun 24 '14 at 21:08
Actually, don't bother, i just tested it from a VM and confirmed the problem. The remote server is not returning CORS headers. You will not be able to retrieve the data with client-side javascript alone from that url. – Kevin B Jun 24 '14 at 21:11
