Question

I want to make a IE8 web slice who will show remaining amount of students “food credit”. In our country we have web page where we can see amount http://www.cap.srce.hr/ProvjeraSaldo.aspx. When I fill textbox with my card number I receive remaining amount. Now, I want to speed that process with IE8 web slice. So is it possible to get data from another webserver page and than display it in my web slice on my web server. I tried to use XMLHTTP request but it can be only used on same domains. Url for getting amount is :

http://www.cap.srce.hr/saldo.aspx?brk={number_of_card}

Answer 1

Several ways, depending on your situation:

1. As an IFRAME (if you get the other
   server to render HTML instead of
   Javascript)
2. As JSONP
3. Through a server-side proxy
4. Through a Flash bridge (which would require a crossdomain.xml on the other server)
