Sounds like you're talking about "cross-domain scripting" which as Richard mentioned, isn't possible with AJAX requests - the jquery .load() command uses AJAX, so what Richard is saying is it's simply not possible to use jQuery's .load() to access an html file on a different domain. With AJAX, the file you access must be on the same domain as the page that's trying to access it - that security restriction is built into all modern web browsers.
There's another way to load information dynamically (not using AJAX) from files hosted on other domains as long as they are javascript code, but it sounds like you want something that can access files containing html code. The type of request you are are asking about is usually handled using a server-side programming language. With server-side languages like PHP or Perl etc you can easily make an HTTP request to any page on any domain & store/process the result. With PHP I believe you'd use Curl: http://nadeausoftware.com/articles/2007/06/php_tip_how_get_web_page_using_curl http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php With Perl you'd use LWP: http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/08/20/perlandlwp.html One way to accomplish your request is to make a server-side proxy script. Basically here's how that works - your web page makes an AJAX request to the proxy script, which in turn makes the cross-domain HTTP request, & then returns the result to your page via AJAX. AJAX works for this because the proxy script is on the same server as your web page. Keep in mind there are security implications about making a proxy that accesses any page on any other domain - you'd probably want to come up with a method so that your proxy script can only be accessed by your web page. Here's an article about that method: http://fleegix.org/articles/2005/11/07/cross-domain-ajax-requests Hope that helps! -Wick On Nov 8, 9:59 am, caruso_g <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ciao Richard, > thanks a lot, really. > > It, clearly, works. > > But, if I may ask you more, if I would to pass an address with the > same problem to a jQuery selector, what should I write? > Would it enough to create a variable and insert its name into the > selector? > Below it is an example: > > var my_variable_name = '"' + document.location.hostname + '/folder/ > subfolder/file.html'; > > jQuery(my_variable_name).something; > > Would it be right?
