Question

I m trying to convert the following code to another AJAX call, in order to not have cross-domain problems!

This is my original code:

<script>   
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $("#os").load('http://www.a.gr/os #livesos');
            var refreshId = setInterval(function() {
               $("#os").load('http://www.a.gr/os #livesos');
            }, 60000);
            $.ajaxSetup({ cache: false });
        });     
</script>

And here is a sample code for what i want to do, but i dont know how…

$.ajax({
type: "GET",
cache: false,
url: 'http://www.a.gr/os',
dataType: "???",
.
.
.
.
});

Can someone help me please?

Your best bet to avoid cross-domain issues is to have the phone call your server, and the server can call the other servers to get the data needed.

There are a couple of benefits to this, one being that you can cache recent calls, if it doesn’t change often, and more quickly send it back to the client.

Also, if you want to later change the url or make additional calls to return richer data, you can do that without affecting the client.
