Hey guys. I was told that the only trick to sending data to a external server (i.e x-domain) is to use getJSON. Well my problem is that the data I am sending exceeds the getJSON data limit. I am tracking mouse movements on a screen for analytics.

Another option is I could also send a little data at a time. probably every time the mouse moves. but that seems as if it would slow things down.

I could setup a proxy server.

My question is which would be better? Setting up a proxy server ? or Just sending bits of information via javascript or JQUERY. What do the professionals use (Google and other company's that build mash-ups that send a lot of data to x-domain sites.)

I need to know the best practices. Thanx!!

Also the data is put into JSON.
