27,081 Points"?jsoncallback=?" query string is a general solution?
Hey everyone, I've just watched the AJAX basics course and there's something I'm not sure about. I've seen the teacher using this querystring: "?jsoncallback=?" at the end of the url to request JSONP from the server using "$.getJSON()". Is it a general solution that works (and neccessery) on most of the websites or it's rather situational?
