Hellooooo, Ben

1_preamble.md

This is example is taken from a live app I'm playing around with. It's been retrofitted and trimmed for example usage for one Mr. Ben Guthrie! Custom gists by demand. Get em' while they're hot!

Getting the same error in Chrome: "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token"

http://dev.plitto.com/sandbox/mustache_jaknowlden/

And a more explicit description of the issue here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3349341/mustache-js-accepts-inputs-as-vars-but-not-as-ajax-gets-how-to-import-or-trou

The missing element from this example is the callback, which I hard-coded to callbacks.php and filled with just this (trying to get the response objects correct):
{"response":"party!","issue":"something","description":"Mommy :|", "created":"mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss UTC", "resolved":false, "id":"..."}

The Tick mustache video was a nice touch. "A man of action, tempered with maturity, like a fireman... or someone's dad."

So yeah, I understand what it intended to happen, but can't get it to work. Thank you very much for this help.
