As a follow-up to my previous email, I did attempt to access the object
through dot notation based on the different layers visible from the link
below, but still could not figure out how to access or print anything of
value.

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&acti…
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="+str;
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="

</body>

Thanks again,

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=""
