[Solved] How use $.ajax download JSON from HTML?

Question

For $.ajax, there is another parameter called dataType. You can specify it to either json or html. For your script to work, you need a dataType of html.

If you do not specify anything, by default it takes text.

Also I’m not sure whether it is

<script type="application/json"></script>

or

<script type="text/javascript"></script>

By the way, I felt the same when I got the first down vote. But then one of my senior said – “By reviewing your work, your peers are doing you a favor. Please make their life easier.”
