jQuery Forum

When I load a JSON file locally, I receive the following error in my Firefox console: "not well-formed / file:///<fileLocation>/data.json / Line: 1 / {}". The loading otherwise seems successful, as I can interact with the loaded JavaScript object. For this example, I'm loading an empty JSON object, but this error occurs with non-empty JSON objects, too.

My JavaScript code embedded in HTML:

1. <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.1.js"></script>
2. <script type="text/javascript">
3.     $.getJSON("data.json", function(jsonData, textStatus)
4.     {
5.         alert(textStatus);
6.     });
7. </script>
   

data.json:

1. {}

Is this an issue with my code, a jQuery issue, or a Firefox issue?

I'm using Firefox 3.6 and jQuery 1.4.1. This error does not occur in IE 7.
