html ajax.request,html - Cross domain ajax request - Stack Overflow

My suspicion is that you see the issue because the page you're requesting does not respond with a json(p) response, but responds with a redirect to:

http://wcidevapps.com/salescentral/idisk/0001000383/iDisk/

(note the trailing slash)

which then returns content type:

Content-Type:text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1

Edit: If your intention is to retrieve the above site's data cross-domain, for further parsing by your script, I suggest that you choose one of the following:

Assumption 1: YOU are in control of the pages on server "http://wcidevapps.com"

In that case, you have two options: Either add CORS header "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" to the response (and configure the client ajax() call with dataType:"html"), or create a special JSON(P) page that delivers the same data as JSON (with padding) (and configure the client ajax() call like in the OP, with dataType:"jsonp")

Assumption 2: YOU are NOT in control of the pages on server http://wcidevapps.com

In that case, the only option I can think of is setup a proxy on a site that you control. Have that proxy "proxy" the requests/responses to "http://wcidevapps.com", but add the CORS header "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" to the response (and configure the client ajax() call with dataType:"html")
