Cross domain Ajax request

The only (easy) way to get cross-domain data using AJAX is to use a server side language as the proxy as Andy E noted. Here's a small sample how to implement that using jQuery: The jQuery part: $.ajax({ url: 'proxy.php', type: 'POST', data: { address: 'http://www.google.com' }, success: function(response) { // response now contains full HTML of google.com } }); And the PHP (proxy.php): echo file_get_contents($_POST['address']); Simple as that. Just be aware of what you can or cannot do with the scraped data.
