Running ajax code?

How do I run ajax code I have written not on a workspace? I am trying to use the jquery function $.getJSON() aand I am not sure how to test if my code is working. I have the api key from the website I am trying to gather data from. How do I execute the code I have written? Do i need to put my code onto a server? If so how do I do this?

Hi Richard - the best way to test your ajax is to use workspace. Running thru your own computer without a server will be impossible. The only way to test if your code works is thru an actual webserver and Workspace allows you to do this.

Go ahead and click on "Launch Workspace" and see it's power come to life :)

Yes indeed, I really enjoy using sublime text but conceding and using workspaces has saved me a lot of trouble.
