Why isn't this AJAX request working in JSFiddle - while it works fine on my site?

Question

I've been trying to debug something for over 8 hours, and in order to get a proper example to ask the question of why it's not working, I'm trying to put together a JSFiddle replica, but the AJAX request doesn't seem to make the call. Any help in finding out why would be greatly appreciated!

Link to JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/cqpka/8/

I'm talking about the $.get() method.

It looks like a same origin policy violation to call an external JSON file from jsfiddle.. It would work correctly from offer-rotator.com — Michael Berkowski, Oct 15 '11 at 18:22
Wow, that sucks, but thanks. If you want, leave your comment as an answer, and I'll accept it. — Avicinnian, Oct 15 '11 at 18:24
You can test AJAX stuff in JsFiddle - see the "Testing Ajax requests" in the sidebar. — Oskar Krawczyk, Oct 26 '11 at 09:30

And another problem might be

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://www.offer-rotator.com/labs/json.php. Origin http://fiddle.jshell.net is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

You are not allowed to send remote ajax calls

Like others have stated, you are running into the cross origin policy limitiation which limits your ajax requests to inter domain requests. You have a few options, you could use JSONP or enable cors.
