I'd suggest using the more generic $.ajax method so you can actually
catch the error, as the $.getJSON fails silently, which is no good for
programmers :-(
$.ajax({
type: GET,
url: "your URL",
processData = true,
data: {},
dataType: "json",
success: function(json) {
alert("success");
},
error: function(x,y,z) {
// x.responseText should have what's wrong
}
});
