I casually mentioned 'remote ajax' in another thread... I thought I'd show a demo of it... very simple!
it's used to watch woot.com while they are doing rapid sales! <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en"> <head> <title> Wootster </title> <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(function(){ var doit = function(){ $.ajax({ url:'http.cgi?http://www.woot.com/DefaultMicrosummary.ashx', success: function(data) { var title = '@' + new Date(); $('body').prepend('<div title="'+title+'">' + data + "</div>") var sale = document.title = data.split('\r')[0]; if (!sale.match(/%/)) { $('body').prepend('<h1>See you at 10pm! Woot is not flashing!</h1>') clearInterval(interval) }}})} doit() var interval = setInterval(doit,40000) $('body').click(function(){window.location = "http://www.woot.com/"}) }) </script> </head> <body/> </html> is a simple page that ajaxes a microsummary repeatedly from another site. and http.cgi is: #!/usr/bin/perl use LWP::UserAgent; use CGI; $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; $ua->agent("NuBrowser/10.7 "); $res = $ua->request(HTTP::Request->new(GET => $ENV{QUERY_STRING} || "http://www.woot.com/DefaultMicrosummary.ashx";)); $q = CGI->new; print $q->header($res->headers->{'Content-Type'}),$res->content; -- Ⓙⓐⓚⓔ - יעקב ʝǡǩȩ ᎫᎪᏦᎬ _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
