Basically when you include the script, the result is something like: <script src="http://provider.com/service.php?param=foo&callback=fn" ... and the service responds with: fn(the_result) where: - fn is the name of your callback function - the_result is some JSON encoded data that the service returns you So at the end in your page you have: <script src="http://provider.com/service.php?param=foo&callback=fn"> fn({foo:bar,poo:whatever}) </script> Hi Craig,

You can use your Firebug (or view generated source) to see what happens.

Basically when you include the script, the result is something like:
<script src=”http://provider.com/service.php?param=foo&callback=fn” …

and the service responds with:
fn(the_result)

where:
- fn is the name of your callback function
- the_result is some JSON encoded data that the service returns you

So at the end in your page you have:
<script src=”http://provider.com/service.php?param=foo&callback=fn”>
fn({foo:bar,poo:whatever})
</script>

I am trying to implement a similar service on my site but my site needs to call the callback function so I was wonder how they would implement this.

What about making your searches linkable and 'parametrize' them in location.search (or more possibly in .hash) and then look for them in script? It works fine in FF.

I haven't had a chance to get into the YUI yet (just now getting brushed up on Flash), but it's good to know that there are lots of possibilities. Thx. Nice job.
