Wow, I stand corrected!

Not really @galexander07, not really ;-)

YQL is something like an online proxy by Yahoo!
It allow you to convert (change format) of the data too

by "online" I mean "not your own"

@leakim971 Ahhh I see now

Tried http://james.padolsey.com/javascript/cross-domain-requests-with-jquery/ but could not get it to work

I was thinking... is it possible to wrap the html code (just a div and some text) in a jsonp and return it

Just not sure how to do it...if its even possible without server side code...

could you provide your amazon s3 url

just playing with it now...

One more note for anyone who was to try this:

you need to use encodeURIComponent and decodeURIComponent to have the html render properly.

In hindsight I don't think it is worth all the trouble. Especially if you html changes often... encoding and removing white space makes the html impossible to read. Remember: don't use with secure data!

There are some advantages. Mostly taking as much load as possible off your server and using amazon to do the work.

But it does work and the techie in me likes that part!
