Loading external file via Ajax.

[BenTrafford]

Hi!

I'm trying to load an external file into my ebook via an Ajax call. The file is local to the EPUB document. However, it's not working -- does Calibre support this?

Here's the code I'm using:

$.ajax({
	async: false,
	url: theExternalDocument,
	dataType: 'xml',
	success: function(data) {
		var xmlData = new XMLSerializer();
		var strungData = xmlData.serializeToString(data);
		var fixedData = strungData.replace(/\<(\?xml|(\!DOCTYPE[^\>\[]+(\[[^\]]+)?))+[^>]+\>/g, '');
		documents[b] = new Array();
		documents[b]['contents'] = $("body", $("<div>" + fixedData + "</div>")).html();
		documents[b]['url'] = uniqueReferences[index];
	}
});

It's working in iBooks, Readium, etc., but pretty much dies in Calibre.

calibre uses WebKit, so ajaz should work fine. "Pretty much dies" is not very illuminating. Use the Console or run the viewer in debug mode
