title: How to load file contents from another domain using just JS?
body: <p>I'm thinking of doing some online file manipulation for mobile users, the idea being that the user provides a URL to the file, then the file contents are modified by the JS, and can then be downloaded. But I haven't been able to figure out how to get the file when it's on a separate domain using just JS.</p>
  
  <p>Is this possible?  If so any hints or examples would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Just wanted to add that part of what I wanted to do was make it available without my hosting it.  I'm thinking of something like a a file they can host somewhere,and then all of the bandwidth is their own...and that of wherever they are getting the file from of course.</p>
