Cross Domain Scripting Issues & JSONP

Question

Our Client requires that we supply Widgits for their site. They want to link to us to get Html & the jQuery required to manipulate the Html and do asynchronous requests.

Answer 1

As far as I know, JSONP utilises SCRIPT tags to load content that is external to the domain that your calling page is being loaded from. Using a SCRIPT tag allows you to reference external URLs. Once this external 'script' has been loaded, data will be returned to a specific callback function which was passed through the location of the external script.
