Shawn(or someone else) I need your help.

How do I get a number from an external URL JSON page and set it to a variable? On the page, there is {"_visitor_alertsUnread":"0"} along with a whole bunch of other stuff and I need to get that number. Note: needs to be JavaScript or jQuery, CAN NOT BE PHP! Thanks:D I'll rep you>:D

So what exactly do you want to do with the variable so I can get a better understanding with the problem.

If thevariable>0 show a badge on an alert in a chrome extension. I know how to do that part though, it's just the getting the variable thats the problem. And I haven't even thought about refreshing...

Oh! I get it. So you want to be notified on a forum via a chrome extension and to do that you need to receive a variable?

Notified by the chrome extension when you get a new message at the forum. There is a page that is in valid json on it that shows how many messages you have, and I need to get that number:D yes.

XD Oh by the way Shawn, I have to use XHR:3 and I'm very confuzzled.

I don't know XHR or JSON. I'm more of a PHP man :(

Ace	07-07-2012 04:45 PM

isn't this the php...

PHP Code:


		
			
{{#get_web_data:

url=<data source url>

|format={CSV|CSV with header|GFF|JSON|XML}

|use xpath

|data=<local_variable_name1>=<external_variable_name1>[,...]

|filters=<external_variable_name1>=<filter_value1>[,...]

}}

So you want to grab data from another web page and store it in a var, to put it simply?
