Is it possible to find the attributes of certain elements on one website and display them on another website? For example, if I have website 1, can I use Javascript/jQuery to find out the size of a specific image or div on website 2 and display those attributes on website 1?
If I can't do something like that with Javascript, is there an alternative way of going about accomplishing that specific example?
1 . What you are trying to do can't be done using any AJAX library. Browsers' cross-domain policy won't allow you to do this.
But you can do this with a combination of php (or any other server-side language) and AJAX. Create a php script like this:
<?php
$url=$_POST['url'];
if($url!="")
echo file_get_contents($url);
?>
Let us say the script's name is fetch.php
. Now you can throw an AJAX call from your jQuery code to this fetch.php
and it will fetch the HTML code for you.
2 . The same origin applies. try this code and you'll face security error,
$.get("other web page site", {}, function(content){
$("#receipe").html(content)
}, "html")
3 . Using Greasemonkey, it is possible to make third-party requests. A jQuery-oriented tutorial is offered on this page . The short answer it to have Greasemonkey make the request on your behalf. Replace all your XMLHttpRequest
objects with GM_xmlhttpRequest
objects.
Useful links,
Sadly because of same origin policy you can't access the DOM on a different domain. If you control both domains you maybe able to use CORS and modify the server HTTP headers to allow Javascript access.
The workaround to this is to use a server to act as a proxy between the two websites. So you would have a server side script on website 1 that would send a request to website 2 and return the content from website 1.
