Cant seem to get my jsonp to work. What am i doing wrong here?

I've started building my website 2 weeks ago and have learnt HTML,CSS and a bit of javascrip so far but i cant seem to be able to get the following code to work for my site:

<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script>

$(document).ready(function(){

    $.getJSON("http://blockchain.info/ticker?callback=?",function(result){
       document.getElementById("testspan").innerHTML=result.EUR.last;
    });

});

</script>
</head>

<body>
<ul>
<li>test: <span id="testspan">test</span>
</ul>

</div>

What is basicly want is to get the data from "http://blockchain.info/ticker" to show in my list item. But only the EUR.last specific value.

Many thx in advance!

That site does not support JSONP, which is what you are attempting to use with callback=?. The idea here is that you will get a Javascript function call wrapping the object, which makes cross-domain Javascript requests possible.

If we try it by looking at http://blockchain.info/ticker?callback=functionName, you will see that the page does not have a function call. JSONP is therefore not supported and you will need to find another way of doing this, perhaps with a proxy on your own server.
