That complex of a job, huh? Ideally I'd just like to learn how to do it on my own so any links to resources, how-tos, etc would be great.
My other option is to just host a subdomain for every other website that wants to use our data. I already know how to do that. But what I really would like to do is to provide a simple cut and paste piece of JavaScript code much like how the many various news sources provide for news feed integration into other websites and/or something similar to how websites like Ebay provide JavaScript code (example at savetheangels.com) to less experienced webmasters who may not fully understand how to intergrate XML data into their own websites or who do not have the technical capabilities to do so. ---mark > -----Original Message----- > From: John Dowdell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, July 26, 2005 2:05 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Need help with XML to JavaScript > > > Mark Warrick wrote: > > I want to provide data from my database to other websites in > > the form of simple cut and paste JavaScript code which other > > webmasters can include in their plain HTML websites. > > Well, the way commonly used in browsers now to request remote XML data > without a page-refresh is called "XmlHttpRequest()"... it's the "X" in > "AJaX". > > But if you're providing this for the sites of others then you may need > to check whether their audiences' browsers are pre-qualified for this > feature.
