Now we’re talking. Love this…ready to do mobile type stuff too. Can you make it provision over air?

I used the API (http://www.ratemyplace.org.uk/api) – there’s undocumented JSON feeds there too – I then used jQuery’s getJson function to grab the feed content and display it.

JSON is great for Javascript, as they’re essentially Javascript objects, so there’s no fiddling around parsing it. It’s a bugger to put together initially though – think my eyes actually beld at one point!

That’s VERY cool! Did you need to do any modification to RMP, or did the app simply work as a “reskin” of the existing site?
