I have a facebook iframe application that makes a cross domain request to my server and requests data in JSONP format. This is my client side code:

jQuery.ajax({
                url: '***',
                type: 'post',
                data: {
                    method: 'set_user_prizes'
                },
                dataType: 'jsonp',
                jsonp: false,
                jsonpCallbackString: 'callback123',
                success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR){
                    console.log('success_function');
                    console.log(data);
                }
});

The problem is my success callback method isn't being invoked and I'm not sure why. Using Firebug I can see my server's response:

callback123({"success":true,"associated_prizes":[{"prizes_id":"6"},{"prizes_id":"1"}]})

• javascript
• jquery
• ajax
• json
• jsonp

• 3 Why are you passing jsonp: false? – SLaks Commented Sep 12, 2011 at 17:40
• @Slaks, I'm using codeigniter with my project. Codeigniter destroys GET data, so therefore I can't use the "&callback=" segment of the url if jquery appends it – Casey Flynn Commented Sep 12, 2011 at 17:42
• @Dmitriy Naumov, no I am making a cross-domain request – Casey Flynn Commented Sep 12, 2011 at 17:43

Remove the word String from the callback key as is illustrated in the following transformation. The value needs to remain a string.

Change:

jsonpCallbackString: 'callback123',

to

jsonpCallback: 'callback123',

The correct answer is

jsonpCallback: 'callback123'
