Using API from Javascript?

haeffb	Posted: Aug 10, 2009 Score: 0 Is possible? I'm beginning to develop an application using Javascript, and have had no success using the XMLHttpRequest object. In searching the forums here, I found a mention that the XMLHttpRequest .open will fail if the Javascript is not on the same domain as the server. Does that mean that Javascript cannot be used to access the Toodledo API?

The Toodledo Firefox extension is written in Javascript, but it is served from toodledoo's own server so it doesn't have to worry about cross domain scripting.

WebOS does allow their XMLHttpRequest (and, by extension, Prototype Ajax requests) calls to work across domains. Anyone developing for WebOS can use the Toodledo API even though the coding is done in Javascript.
