Wikipedia's CORS page [1] is a little misleading.
So I can load the js in my page from a different domain, but I can't use
javascript to grab content / data from another domain -- and that is where

Thanks for these suggestions! The details of our requirements are still

Hi all,
Some time ago there was a code4lib thread about hosting some content
centrally (like a global navbar) for use on multiple web sites.
I haven't been able to find it again. Can anyone point me to it?
