I need a user to navigate to a certain page that has a certain div full of useful text. Then click my bookmarklet and send the text in that div back to my server, which is different from the current domain. I have successfully inserted jQuery on the bookmarklet click and selected the text. Now I need to figure out a way to send that text cross domain to my server. I tried JSONP with jQuery and my text is too long for the url. My second idea was to open up a new window and load a page from my domain, and then somehow insert the selected text into the new window, after which the user could click submit and POST that data to my server. This didn’t work for javascript cross-site reasons. Anyone have any experience with this or ideas for doing this? Thanks.

Generate a form (with DOM) and POST the data (you might want to target an iframe, but it will be fire and forget).
