How do you get content from another domain with .load()?

This is because of the cross-domain policy, which, in sort, means that using a client-side script (a.k.a. javascript...) you cannot request data from another domain. Lucky for us, this restriction does not exist in most server-side scripts.

So...

Javascript:

$("#google-html").load("google-html.php");

PHP in "google-html.php":

echo file_get_contents("http://www.google.com/");

would work.
