JQuery plugin for cross domain content loading with Iframe and using window.postMessage or fall back on window.name transport for older browsers.


Cross Domain Data JQuery Plugin

Plugin can be used to dynamically load content from same or other domains. It can also post form data to remote server script. It’s creating a hidden iframe object to fetch remote page and when remote page sends data (either via window.postMessage in all modern browsers or via window.name in IE 6 & 7), data is read and callback method is invoked.

Simple usage:

Only to retrieve data:

$.getRemoteData( function(data){ $("body").append( data ); }, 'http://-some-remote-url-/source.html' );

To post form use it like this:

$.postFormRemote( function(data){ $("#form_result").append( data ); }, 'form_id', 'form_url', 'form_method' );

In source page one must add code like this (as last body element), to enable true cross domain interaction:
