I'm participating in an event in which you post photos of yourself each day (http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/creole/). The organizer of the event created RSS feeds for each participant. I thought it would be fun, and a good challenge to write a photo gallery using the Cycle plugin that could be used by any of the participants (http:// www.commadelimited.com/code/whiskerino/slideshow.cfm).
It works great on my server, but I mistakenly assumed that the local reference data.cfm (the file that does the work) made in the JS file would always be made on my server. I just tried it locally and I'm getting the dreaded cross domain XmlHttpRequest error. I want this to work without the user have to install any code, or even have a hosting company that offers a scripting language. I wonder now if this is even possible. On data.cfm, I'm using ColdFusion to read in the RSS feed, then I'm looping over the feed and outputting the contents into div tags. You can see the results here: http://www.commadelimited.com/code/whiskerino/data.cfm Can any of you suggest an alternate method that would work?
