HTML forms, add data from another domain

Question

Hi

I have missed the cross domain waggon, and have just started investigating.

My question is:

Is it possible add data to the eg. input/@name="x" field in domain-a.com/form.html from domain-b/add.html?

As far as I know it is not possible with JavaScript to write to the domain-a's document from a function in domain-b.

But I think I have seen this has been done (or I have been dreaming).

If I have not been dreaming, does anyone know what kind techniques that have been used to accomplish this?

Thanks for tips, examples and advices in advance,

Kobi

If you own domain-a, you can alter the server side script to set the page elements with the appropriate querystring parameters.
