Geo location - JS vs JSON

Question

I am tryign to obtain the geolocation of the user browsing using maxmind's free service http://j.maxmind.com/app/geoip.js

jQuery.getScript('http://j.maxmind.com/app/geoip.js', function() 
{
    var country = geoip_city();
    console.log("Your location is: " + country);
});

However, outputting javascript code instead of a json seems like a bit of a problem, since it evals the code from a site outside your control. What would be the best practice to handle such scenarios?

Answer 1

This will show user's city.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://j.maxmind.com/app/geoip.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
    document.write(geoip_city());
</script>
