JSONP not working for cross domain AJAX

Question

I've look at all the cross-domain ajax questions, and still cannot figure out what is wrong with my JSONP request. All I am trying to do is get the contents of an external page, cross domain using JSONP. Unfortunately, firefox still gives this:

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://stackoverflow.com/?_=1415036764663. This can be fixed by moving the resource to the same domain or enabling CORS.

Code:

var url = "http://stackoverflow.com";

$.ajax({
    url: url,
    type: "GET",
    datatype: "jsonp",   //allows cross-domain ajax without cors (GET only)
    async: true,
    cache: false,
    timeout: 15000,

    success: function(html) {
        console.log(html);
    }
});

What URL are you trying to access? JSONP (or CORS) doesn't just magically let you access arbitrary domains via AJAX. The sites you are accessing need to support these things. I'm assuming stackoverflow.com doesn't support JSONP. If you want data from StackOverflow, you need to use the API: api.stackexchange.com/docs — gen_Eric

You have a small typo there:

…
dataType: "jsonp", // dataType instead of datatype
…

JavaScript variables and object properties are case-sensitive.
