Cross-server javascript issue? js on one server, accessing another server

Question

Hi guys,

I had a question. I have a coldfusion server that has javascript, and I am using Flex on another server. I need to use javascript from the CF server to access the Flex server, and wanted to know if there would be any cross-server (same domain though) issues that would arise. Thanks guys

There won't be any issues.

JavaScript does't care what language you use to serve up your pages and/or data. The only thing it cares about is 1) is it valid and 2) is it from the same domain as the requesting page.

Nothing else matters.
