Question

Is there something out there that will allow me to do something similar to:

<script>
var source;
sources = $.get("www.johnverber.com/?url=www.google.com");

document.write(source);
</script>

Obviously this code doesn’t work…

Answer 1

You don’t have many options when it comes to getting data from a different host. You will most likely run to the cross-domain errors. You should expose JSONP web service. You could then do the following with getJSON:

$.getJSON('http://www.johnverber.com/?url=www.johnverber.com/win1.html&callback=?', function(data){
  // do something with data
});

Note the callback=? query.
