[Javascript] location.href

[Håkan Magnusson]

Cross-domain script access is a security risk, that's why the browser 
wont allow you to access other domains than the one you're currently on. 
If you're targeting old browsers (NN4), a signed script could do it for 
you. If you feel like hacking away, you can (of course) rely on exploits 
and bugs in [popular browser] to allow this one way or the other, but I 
don't care much for that browser so I have no idea on exactly how you 
should go about doing these hacks.
