Question

Hi I got this jquery thing called jquery-endless-scroll. My code looks similar to this:

 $(function() {
  $('#list').endlessScroll({
    pagesToKeep: 10,
    fireOnce: false,
    insertBefore: "#list div:first",
    insertAfter: "#list div:last",
    content: function(i, p) {
      $.get('http://google.com', function(data) {
      return '<li>' + data + '</li>'
      });
    },
    ceaseFire: function(i) {
      if (i >= 10) {
        return true;
      }
    },
    intervalFrequency: 5
  });
});

My main Problem is the content it should return. The rest is not so important.
I want it to return the html markup of google.com but instead of returning this markup it returns nothing. What am I doing wrong?

You can not do this using client side Javascript because of Cross-Domain policy issue for security purpose. But if try to read file’s content on the same domain your script is running on, then it will work.

You should use node.js – a server side Javascript for such stuff:
