[jQuery] getJSON - how do you make it work?

[Jon Sidnell]

Hi

I'm trying to get some JSON content using the $.getJSON function, but
it just won't work!!

I started out using ASP.NET to generate a load of JSON, but decided to
create a simple text file with a JSON string in it instead.

Here's my JavaScript:

        $.getJSON("/test.txt", function(data) {
                alert("I got the stuff");
        });

        $("#msg").ajaxError(function(event, request, settings, error) {
                $(this).append("<p>" + error + "</p>");
        });

And my test.txt file contains:

        { "offer": {
                "id": 2,
                "title": "animals could talk",
                "image": "_blank.gif"
                }
        }

Is there anything really obvious I'm doing wrong?

Thanks
Jon
