Implementing watchlists in Javascript? I have
implemented a watchlist
in javascript [1], but the problem is that javascript does not allow
cross website scripting. So there is no way I can fetch the data from
an other hostname.
There are actually two solutions to that problem:
1. The Wikimedia wikis have an AJAX framework which IIRC has the
capability to tranparently fetch data off any other Wikimedia wiki, on
the server side. So Javascript thinks it's still dealing with the same
site and the sandbox security model doesn't prevent what you want.
2. Turn the whole thing into a Greasemonkey script (I know, you limit
the browser choices...) and then pull data from wherever you want...
