JS Remote Data Load

[MrCue]

How do you load data from a remote site, like its done the in the "Live from smf" in the admin center?

Anyone?

Sorry for taking so long to respond.

There are a few ways to do it, but only one really that works in Opera....

You just do something like:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.remote-site.tld/script.js"></script>

IE and Mozilla support special extensions to load remote data, though, which I really like ... but Opera doesn't support them.

What about if the user is unable to reach the remote domain?
how do you make it display different text?
or even attempt the load after the page has already loaded?

Then it won't load, and whatever the script would have done won't be.

how do you make it display different text?

Check a variable the loading script takes, set variables before hand it can change, etc.

or even attempt the load after the page has already loaded?

That would require the javascript I mentioned, and not work for Opera/Safari.
