Just to add some motivation for not using this facility. The reason that browsers and security add-ons like NoScript make this difficult is because it is one common symptom of somebody trying to attack you. They plant a link to their own code somewhere in a perfectly respectable web page that either you need to click on, or in an ideal world from their point of view, the link is loaded automatically.
So programs try to help users by blocking this kind of behaviour by default. And helpful site authors try to help such users by never using cross-domain scripting. Always host a copy of the scripts on your own domain and serve them from there. It also gives you a more reliable site. At best a paranoid user like me has to do extra clicking to see a page that uses cross-domain scripts. But typically I won't even bother, I'll just find some other site that serves the information in what I view as a more responsible way. Cheers, Dave PS and yes, I'm aware that some large, well-known site do this. That doesn't make it right.
