makeRequest example not working

Reply Contact

I have been trying to get the example code for fetching data from an external source to work. When I try out the code from http://developer.myspace.com/community/opensocial/create_app.aspx, I get a javascript error: "Permission denied to call method Location.toString." This looks like a cross-site scripting issue.

Here is the code from the other page:

</script>    
    function init()
    {
        var url = "<some_url_for_json_data_source>";    
        os_params = {};
        opensocial.makeRequest(url, makeRequest_Callback, os_params);

        function makeRequest_Callback(data){
            var responseText = data.responseText;
            ...
        }
    }
    init();
</script>

Any ideas what's wrong with this? It would be great to post some examples that actually work.

I wonder. I am not to good with java but am learning. could it be because the function makerequest is in another function. Do they have to be 2 seperate entities?

Actually, I don't think it's the makeRequestion function that has the problem; the javascript alert seems to have been blocked, so your results simply doesn't show.

If you try to display the results of the request in a div instead, you'll get what you want. For example:

<html>
<head>
<style>
    #test { background-color: #00ff00; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="test"></div>
<body>

</html>

<script type="text/javascript"> 
function init()
    {
        var url = "http://www.w3c.com";
                
        os_params = {};
        
        gadgets.io.makeRequest(url, makeRequest_Callback, os_params);
        
        function makeRequest_Callback(data){
            
            var responseText = data.responseText;
            document.getElementById("test").innerHTML = responseText;
        }
    }
    
    
init();
</script>

Hope this helps.

Frank

I meet the same problem. When I set gadget content type='html' and copy the same code into [[-CDATA -]]. everything is ok.
If I use external iframe. I must reference the opensocial by:

var opensocial = parenet.opensocial;

var gadget = parent.gadget;

Firefox erroConsole display:

Error: Permission denied to get property Window.opensocial

I guess I need find some solution by using Oauth signature. Frustated.

makeRequest is not working for me either. We use open social makeRequest call to load the app content (box) on profile page. It was working fine yesterday. It stop working since this morning. Could someone look into this?
