Ajax and third party XML files.

Post by JellyFish »

Hey guys, I'm curious to as if Javascripts XmlHTTPRequest object can request and read XML files from third-party sites (i.e RSS feeds)?

This is basically what I'm asking.

Yes. Ajax is just another way to get data from a server.

Jellyfish, arborint answered your question. All ajax does is allow javascript to make an http request.
