I am trying to build an "app version" of my website (a social network). I am using PhoneGap + jQuery Mobile (i started learning them today).
The app simply needs to retrieve new posts from the website and show them to the user. Therefore I thought a simple Ajax Request would do the job.
So, i created a php test file on the server (URL: http://www.racebooking.net/it/moto/app/get_post_test.php), which simply Echoes Alien contact SUCCESS!
I've made a simple html page in localhost (on my PC) called index.html with a div called #post-container and an AJAX request:
var root = "http://www.racebooking.net/it/moto"
$.get(root + "/app/get_post_test.php", function(data){
$("#posts-container").html(data);
});
If everything is correct, i expect to see Alien contact SUCCESS! in the post-content div.
What happens looks strange:
- If i run the app from eclipse using Genymotion, everything works fine
and i see the message
Alien contact SUCCESS!-> the AJAX request went fine - If i open the
index.htmlfile on firefox, i don't see anything and FireBug informs me that the cross-origin request was blocked. He also tells me to activate CORS.
1) Why is that happening and how can i make FireBug work (which is better and faster for debugging)?
2) Am i following the right procedure or i am missing something?
