Ajax widget not working in iBook

Question

I wrote a simple jQuery widget that loads some string from a remote server and pops it into a text label or text area when a button is pressed.  The widget works like a charm in mac os x dashcode.  But when I preview the widget one my iPad 1 and press the button.  Nothing happens.  So then to make sure that the ajax call was even going out I put a simple mail function in the remote file to shoot me an email everytime the ajax call is made.  Sure enough when I press the button on the iPad i get an email.  But the text does not apear in the textarea.

In the solution provided it misses the server part which is very important. You have to generate a javascript code on server side. It's a trick for JSONP.
When using JQuery and JSONP, a <script src="http://www.sample.ca/web_lib/jsonp.php?json_callback=jQuery19109327708575874567_1368632112217"> tag is added in background in your DOM
It means, based on the solution in frontend of mykg4orce that you have to implement a code like that in PHP on server side:
<?php
$array = array(
     "success" => true,
     "Firstname" => "Paul",
     "Name" => "Smith"
header('Content-Type: text/javascript');
echo $_GET['jsonp_callback'] . '(' . json_encode($array) . ');'; // it will generate something similar to jQuery19109327708575874567_1368632112217 ({ "success" : "true", "Firstname" : "Paul", "Lastname" : "Smith" });
JSONP is a method to have cross domain scripts
