Will Bontrager Blogs Web Site TechniquesAjax Content From Other DomainsJuly 8, 2008Ajax has a built-in restriction allowing it to retrieve content only from its own domain. In other words, the domain where the web page is loaded into the browser is the only domain Ajax can retrieve content from. This article shows you how to get around that restriction. Ajax asks PHP or CGI or other software on the server to go get the content on another domain. That software gets the content and hands it to Ajax. The article has both the PHP and the Perl CGI software, to give a choice of which to use. To block cross-site scripting, the software presented with the article is restricted to getting content only from domains you so specify. Consider that the output of software on other domains can be inserted into the web pages of yours. It is satisfying and pleasing to use Ajax this way.

So I decided to find out. A snippet of JavaScript was included with the syndicated content. When the page with the content was loaded into a browser, the JavaScript requested an image from a script on our web site that (1) logged the page load and (2) replied with an a clear GIF image. I was pleasantly surprised. Few site owners had previously emailed me to tell me they were syndicating the articles. Most had just silently done it. Today, I'll show how and provide the means to do your own logging of content you syndicate to other web sites.

For example, instead of (or in addition to) writing, "The group was composed of 540 women, 602 men, and 239 children," it could be expressed this way:
Words and numbers can publish exact information. Graphical bars let the relationships be assimilated at a glance. I'll show you two ways to make the graphical bars, with a background color and with an image. The PHP script generates and publishes the graphical bars and their labels on the fly with the information you provide. Read more about "Making Graphical Bars On The Fly" |
