Thanks Roan, that helped a bit. You were correct, the myFunc() definition had to be placed before the src. Through further research I discovered (what I believe is) the exact API call that I need for the output that I desire. However, I'm still having trouble with JavaScript accessing the returned value from the callback. At this point, I'm trying to assign the callback value to a variable and print it to the screen to confirm that I have what I'm after. So far, the only value I've been able to retrieve from the callback is: [object Object]
What I'm after is what is printed to the screen when you go to the following link: http://en.wiktionary.org/w/api.php?format=json&callback=myFunc&actio...
Does anybody see where I'm going wrong or have any suggestions?
///////////////////////////////////////////////////// <html> <body>
<script type="text/javascript" > //myFunc("hello"); function myFunc(str){ document.write(str); //var testVar = JSON.parse(str);
//document.write(testVar);
//location.href = "http://www.myURL.com/test.php?str=%22+str; } </script> <script type="text/javascript" src=" http://en.wiktionary.org/w/api.php?format=json&callback=myFunc&action=query&prop=revisions&rvprop=content&titles=play"></script>
</body> </html> /////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Thanks again, Aaron.

I'm not sure you can mix src="" with content like that. Try using 1) separate tags for the src="" script and the myFunc() definition and 2) putting the myFunc() definition *before* the src=""
