My "JSON" isn't working

I'm loading a large number of items on a page through JSON, but it isn't working. This is my first time using JSON and I figured JSON was just a big object so I copied my object that I had before in a variable into a file and names it fun.js.

You can check out the JSON here:

I'm using jQuery to get the JSON:

$.getJSON('fun.js', function(data){
alert(data)
});

Nothing is being alert, in the matter of fact...the alert isn't happening at all. Anyone know why?

Have you validated that the JSON is the issue? Open up Firebug or Chrome Dev Tools and refresh the page. You may see a message that the file wasn't found or there was a parsing exception or a security error.

  • If the file isn't found, you can fix that in the code.
  • If there is a parsing error, use a JSON validator.
  • If there is a security issue, see my answer to Get a JSON file from URL and display. You need to update your server policy or configure your browser to allow access to file URL's in your tests through.

For starters, your JSON doesnt validate. Go paste it here and fix your errors: http://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/

Secondly, user jQuery.Ajax to which you can pass onError parameter so you'll get a warning that JSON didn't go through.
