No. For security reasons JavaScript cannot access anything beyond the domain of the current page. This is known as the "same origin policy" and prevents a document or script loaded from one origin from getting or setting properties of a document from a different origin.


All advice is supplied packaged by intellectual weight, and not by volume. Contents may settle slightly in transit.

I was told that I can buy a program that allows it from here: http://www.ajax-cross-domain.com/

hmm...

Also, someone else said I can build a Proxy?!

Sure - but the operative word is buy. That program is written in Perl and outputs its content as a JavaScript file. That works around the "same origin" policy.

all browsers since IE8 support cross-site ajax. JSON can't do anything that xml can, though JSONp is potential solution.
