Hi,

I want to post some data via javascript to another domain. Something like:

http://www.othersite.com/submitfunnyname?name=blah

The other site (othersite.com) has a REST interface that you can call (well actually this is a get example) to submit a funny name to them.

Can I do this already with javascript? I'm a little confused on this - I know if that service wants to return some data, I'd need to use something like JSON-P - even though here I'm submitting some data, I guess the service will return some message structure letting me know the result, so it would have to be JSON-P, right?

Thanks
