jQuery Bookmarklet with $.post() or $.get()

Question

Hi. I've built a Bookmarklet based on Ben Almans jQuery enabled Bookmarklet.

The bookmarklet creates a an fills it with some data from a $.get('http://mydomain.com/request/') Request.

It works as long as I am on the same domain, but if I try to run it on another site, e.g. google the $.get() does not work.

I've also tried $.getJSON() and $.post(), but nothings seems to work. Hoping, that anyone can halp me!

(Please excuse my bad English, I am from Germany and 16 years old ;)

Answer 1

Hi,

Ajax isn't cross-domain by default, so it'll only work within your domain.

However, you got some solutions. One is using curl with jquery ajax to get what you want, other is use a library like this one : http://www.ajax-cross-domain.com/

Answer 2

You won't be able to do this for security related reasons. An option would be to turn your web server into a proxy.
