A question about cross-domain (subdomain) ajax request

Let's say I have the main page loaded from http://www.example.com/index.html. On that page there is js code that makes an ajax request to http://n1.example.com//echo?message=hello. When the response is received a div on the main page is updated with the response body.

Will that work on all popular browsers?

Edit:

The obvious solution is to put a proxy in front of www.example.com and n1.example.com and set it so that every request going to a subresource of http://www.example.com/n1 gets proxied to http://n1.example.com/.

Another solution that may or may not work for you is to dynamically insert/remove script tags in your DOM that point to the target domain. This will work if the target returns json and supports a callback.

Function to handle the result:

<script type="text/javascript">
  function foo(result) {
    alert( result );
  }
</script>

Instead of doing an AJAX request you would dynamically insert something like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://n1.example.com/echo?callback=foo"></script>
