Question

I have a picture in a DIV on site abc.com which is hosted elsewhere, for example <IMG SRC="http://xyz.com/image.jpg">.

It loads fine, but, I need to update this every few seconds.

The majority of items to upload are local, but the following code will not work for remote pictures:

$('#rightpic').load('http://xyz.com/image.jpg', null);

By trying this, I am getting an error : ...is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

Can anyone recommend a better way of doing this?

Answer 1

Try this out, you want to actually change the src, not use the .load() function.

$('#rightpic').get(0).src = 'http://xyz.com/image.jpg';
