It seems to me that Flash goes about cross-domain scripting in a rather nice way. That's probably the only good thing you'll ever hear out of me about Flash.
Check out /crossdomain.xml files. Flash checks the /crossdomain.xml file to see if the target site has an explicit exception for the site your flash is running on to make cross-domain calls. It'd be lovely if browsers would implement this for AJAX as well as it seems like a simple an elegant solution to a common problem. Here's a sample for those who might not be familiar with the joys of flash: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd";> <cross-domain-policy> <allow-access-from domain="www.yoursite.com" /> <allow-access-from domain="yoursite.com" /> <allow-access-from domain="*.hersite.org" /> </cross-domain-policy> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Discussion mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-discuss -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
