Client side use / AJAX

There is a problem with the crossdomain.xml file that prevents access to the PlaceFinder API. We are working on a fix for this problem.

Hey Eddie,

Do you have an idea how long it will take for a fix for the the crossdomain.xml issue to be made?

I'm also having issues calling the PlaceFinder JSON service from localhost, but when i put the request in the browser's address bar, it works fine. I have a feeling this is the same crossdomain issue...

Thanks!

We are facing a invalid label error as follows
This is the error info from firebug along with other details

$. ajax ({
type: "GET",
url : url ,
data: "()",
contentType: "application/ json ; charset = utf -8",
dataType: " jsonp ",
success:function( json ){
alert("in success method");
},
error:function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown){
alert("XMLHttpRequest"+XMLHttpRequest);
alert("textStatus"+textStatus);
alert("errorThrown"+errorThrown);
}
});

Error: invalid label

Source Code:
{"ResultSet":{"version":"1.0","Error":0,"ErrorMessage":"No error","Locale":"us_US","Quality":40,"Found":1,"Results":[{"quality":40,"latitude":"37.777125","longitude":"-122.419644","offsetlat":"37.777125","offsetlon":"-122.419644","radius":10700,"name":"",

my requirement is simple I just want to get the lat long data back through json (that will be called thorugh a jquery ajax request) but every time I am getting invalid label error , whether I am missing something silly stuff , cam someone provide me a code demo where I can get the json response back after calling thorugh a jquery ajax request, we are seriously thinking over to use Placefinder for our upcoming site but this problem is creating a dampner, can you please revert back to us quickly then we can still try to use Placefinder over Google Places
