I am using the IMDb API v2.0 located here and I decided to test it. I can't. I think it's beacuse of cross-browser AJAX request from external sites.. but I don't know any other way. For example, here's a test at imdbapi avatar
See? Here's my code.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('#movie').keyup(function() {
var yourMovie = $("#movie").val();
$("#debug").append("You are searching for ... "+yourMovie+"\n");
dataString = "t=Avatar";
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "http://www.imdbapi.com/",
cache: false,
data: dataString,
success: function(html){
//$("#more").after(html);
alert("Success!");
}
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="#" method="get" enctype="text/html" >
<input type="text" id="movie" maxlength="50" />
</form>
<div id="other">

</div>
<br />
<textarea id="debug" style="width: 500px;height:150px;border:1px solid black;font-face:typewriter;"></textarea><br />
<textarea id="more" style="width: 500px;height:150px;border:1px solid red;font-face:typewriter;"></textarea>
</body>
</html>
I am using Google Chrome.
Here's what worked for me:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('#movie').keyup(function() {
var yourMovie = $("#movie").val();
$("#debug").append("You are searching for ... "+yourMovie+"\n");
dataString = "callback=?&t=Avatar";
$.getJSON('http://www.imdbapi.com/', dataString, function(html){
//$("#more").after(html);
alert("Success!");
});
});
});
</script>

Replace:
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "http://www.imdbapi.com/",
cache: false,
data: dataString,
success: function(html){
//$("#more").after(html);
alert("Success!");
}
});
With
$.getJSON('http://www.imdbapi.com/?' + dataString, function(json_data){
alert(JSON.stringify(json_data));
});
It is a cross domain AJAX call, therefore you need a callback. jQuery makes this really easy, just add ?callback=? to your url.
url: "http://www.imdbapi.com/?" + dataString + "&callback=?"
Skip the data = dataString in this case, makes it easier (I find).
Try this, and continue on it further:
$.getJSON("http://www.imdbapi.com/?" + dataString + "&callback=?").success(function(data){
console.log(data); // will contain all data (and display it in console)
})
This is the same as:
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "http://www.imdbapi.com/?"+dataString+"&callback=?",
dataType: 'JSONP'
success: function(data){
console.log(data);
}
