Hi [Developers](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12875/blunders-you-must-avoid-while-hiring-java-developers-to-get-the-best-fulfilling-your-needs), \ I [am trying](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/36834/which-two-programming-languages-should-i-master-in-if-i-am-trying-to-get-into-google-or-facebook) to [fetch information](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/93905/how-to-fetch-information-from-a-normal-file-with-ajax) using [AJAX](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/1541/check-availability-of-user-name-or-email-using-asp-dot-net-ajax-and-jquery) from a URL. This URL will return a [JSON](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/34446/convert-json-string-to-object) [response](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/12719/how-to-make-response-write-display-special-character-like-lt-gt) but I am having a great deal of trouble getting this to work. I am fairly new to using both AJAX and JSON so I am not quite sure as to what I am [doing wrong](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/36736/what-are-indians-doing-wrong-on-whatsapp). I am not receiving any output. Here's what I have so far:\ **[HTML](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/1530/design-a-simple-stylish-calculator-using-html-css-and-javascript):**\ ```             My Javascript Practice
