Requesting data from any location on my domain with .load() (or any jQuery ajax functions) works just fine.
Trying to access a URL in a different domain doesn't work though. How do you do it? The other domain also happens to be mine.
I read about a trick you can do with PHP and making a proxy that gets the content, then you use jQuery's ajax functions, on that php location on your server, but that's still using jQuery ajax on your own server so that doesn't count.
Is there a good plugin?
EDIT: I found a very nice plugin for jQuery that allows you to request content from other pages using any of the jQuery function in just the same way you would a normal ajax request in your own domain.
