I tested it and it works cross-domain with IE7 and FF3. It appears to
send the data URL encoded inside the CSS like so:
#cr0 {
background: red url(http://cssrpc/%3Ch1%3EResult%20from%20CSS
%201%3C/h1%3E);
}
#cr1 {
background: blue url(http://cssrpc/%3Cp%3EThis%20is%20lorem%20ipsum
%20in%20a%20paragraph%20tag.%20Or%20something.%3C/p%3E);
}
So the url field is then URL decoded and written to the page. Is this
right? Is there a advantage of using CSS files instead of JS files
for cross-domain data communication?
