Use jQuery.ajax (or it's wrapper functions such as jQuery.getJSON) to cover all cross-browser issues. And as indirectly suggested above. JSONP is the solution for cross- domain scripting. What it means is that that source (in this case toolserver) has a URL parameter (say &callback=), the script then returns the folllowing: callback({ my: 'data' }); This is the exception / work-around to same origin policiy as it can be done through a simple script tag because there is a callback. This callback function can be dynamic and generated on the fly with jQuery by using a ? as callback Example: http://toolserver.org/~krinkle/tmp/jsonp_example.php?callback=myFunc jQuery.getJSON( 'http://toolserver.org/~krinkle/tmp/jsonp_example.php?callback= ?', function(data){ alert(data.hello); } ); Op 1 feb 2011, om 19:06 heeft Daniel Kinzler het volgende geschreven:
