I want to request a list of sizes from a database on my server (which is obviously not on ebay.co.uk's domain). I could do it entirely through flash... but it seems clumsy for a simple form. I think the ideal solution would be a javascript + flash solution. The problem is all of the sites I have found seem to have very complete solutions and ebay does not like huge chunks of javascript (I am not sure exactly which functions it allows and doesn't... but the less javascript the better).
So what I am looking for is a very small and simple cross domain ajax solution that will allow me to make requests from my server. Anyone any ideas?
TIA

In your case, I would suggest http://anyorigin.com - it's simple to use and (unless you're sending volatile information) perfectly viable. It could all be done in a couple of lines of js!
