Cross-site ajax call to a WCF Service

Question

Is it possible to do a cross-site call, in Javascript, to a WCF service?

I don\'t mind if it\'s a POST or a GET.

But I\'ve heard that these days, browsers don\'t

Answer 1

Are you using jQuery by any chance? jQuery supports Cross-Domain JSON requests using "JSONP". You will be limited to GET requests, but I've tried it out and it works well! It's also very simple to get working.

See the "Cross-Domain getJSON (using JSONP) " section on this page for details: http://docs.jquery.com/Release:jQuery_1.2/Ajax

And here's some background on JSONP: http://bob.pythonmac.org/archives/2005/12/05/remote-json-jsonp/

Let me know how it goes!
