Question

I am using this code:

$.ajax({
    url: 'http://mysharepointsite.com/SitePages/Home.aspx',
    type: 'HEAD',
    error: function () {
        //file not exists 
        alert('not ok');
    },
    success: function () {
        //file exists 
        alert('ok');
    }
}); 

I am calling it from another domain, it is failing because of the cross-domain issue. How can i overcome this?

Answer 1

You can make a proxy for the server to make the connection then make ajax calls to the proxy, but you can also use James Padolsey’s cross-domain ajax mod which will use YUI in the background to handle the cross-domain requests, it’s a drop-in replacement for jQuery’s .ajax() method. it’s on github here
