[Javascript] Data Loading

[Håkan Magnusson]

Crap, after some research 
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mozilla.security/870) it seems that 
Mozilla can't do cross domain requests unless the domain you try to 
access has given you permissions to do so.

Somebody might have created a hack to bypass this, I don't know. This is 
interesting for me too, though, so I'll keep researching.

Regards,
H
