Description Ryan Cannon 2011-12-09 01:44:14 CET

YUI3's JSONP library, called Y.DataSource.Get

    http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/datasource/datasource-get.html

Uses a callback parameter structured like this:

    YUI.Env.DataSource.callbacks.yui_3_4_1_1_1323387467713_24

however, requests using the utility fail with

    Callback is not a valid ECMA 262 IdentifierName.

This error is resolved if the periods are removed from the callback parameter.
