Hi,

 

I am trying to submit XML values via a form using jQuery. I then need to process the returned XML. I am testing using the following jQuery:

 

1. $(document).ready(function(){

2. jQuery('input#process_card').click(function(){

3. $.post("https://secure2.epdq.co.uk:11500", $("#testform"), function(data){

4. jQuery('.confirm').hide();

5. });

6. });

7. });

 

 

and the following HTML form:

 

 

1. <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" id="testform">

2. <input type="hidden" name="CLRCMRC_XML" value='<EngineDocList>

3. <DocVersion>1.0</DocVersion>

4. <EngineDoc>

5. <ContentType>OrderFormDoc</ContentType>

6. <User>

Not sure if you can do this, as surely you gert the cross domain js error?????

 

Yeah, their are three popular approaches to cross domain ajax.

 

1) JSON (jQuery has something to do with this built in i think, but i've never used it)

2) Flash (Never used).

3) Use php as a gateway/proxy

 

Number three is the method i'd use. It's pretty simple.

 

• Form sends an ajax request to a php script on your server (same domain).
• The php script then sends the request to the target (different domain).
• The php script then waits for the response
• The php script then returns the response back to the original page.

The benefits of the php method is you can easily log, track and monitor data requests (success rates, bugs, failures etc.) You can also pre-process the data, reformat it etc. You get alot more flexibility and control to implement contingency procedures.

 

It's worth noting though, that subdomains are counted as a different domain. You CANNOT use ajax between different subdomains.
