Are you sure that you're not running into cross-site scripting issues?
Security restrictions will prohibit you from AJAXing content from
other servers.
One solution is to create a local proxy on your server to pass through
the calls.
For example, this page will error out:
http://scott.sauyet.com/Javascript/Demo/2010-01-08a/
But this one will work:
http://scott.sauyet.com/Javascript/Demo/2010-01-08b/
The only difference is in the URL that's called:
url: "http://ipinfodb.com/ip_query.php?ip="; + $("#ip").val()
url: "proxy.php?url=http://ipinfodb.com/ip_query.php?ip="; + $
("#ip").val()
If you're using PHP, feel free to steal the PHP code (which is quite
possibly horrible; I don't know PHP that well):
http://scott.sauyet.com/Javascript/Demo/2010/01/08b/proxy.phps
This is a very limited proxy, proxying only these requests.
