    Getting the twitter JSON

    Hello,

    I'm trying to get the JSON string from a twitter timeline by sending a XMLHttpRequest with the URI of the timeline: http://twitter.com/statuses/public_t...lback=timeline. I tried to put this into a xmlHttpRequest but it returns null. Is this a security issue or something?. Can someone explain me how to get the JSON string ?.

    Thanks.

    IIRC XMLHttpRequest can only request pages from site it's served from (so unless the java script in on twitter.com it can't fetch from twitter.com

    yes, use XMLHttpRequest to connect a server side script like php on your server, and that script use normal transfer protocol to fetch the data.
