You'll have to make up your mind—XML or JSONP? – Álvaro González Oct 06 '15 at 11:34 — Álvaro González, Oct 06 '15 at 11:34

http://applica.luminoustec.net/file.xml is XML.

dataType: "jsonp", tells jQuery to parse it as JSONP.

XML is not JSONP. Thus, it errors.

Either:

Change the URL to one which returns JSONP or
Remove the dataType line and let jQuery detect it as XML (NB: This will probably require that you set up CORS support on the server).

I attempt with 2 option , now error is XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://applica.luminoustec.net/file.xml. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:22791' is therefore not allowed access. – Jot Dhaliwal Oct 06 '15 at 11:29
@jot yes, that is a CORS error. You have to set up CORS to do #2. – George Stocker Oct 06 '15 at 11:31
how to manage with that any idea or helpful link @GeorgeStocker – Jot Dhaliwal Oct 06 '15 at 11:32
@Jot instructions for setting up CORS on various server environments http://enable-cors.org/server.html ... I think you'll want http://enable-cors.org/server_aspnet.html – Jaromanda X Oct 06 '15 at 11:38
