No, that I used was a php-script that took URL-parameters and
gave an output like:

<script language="javascript">
  answer = "xyz";
  handleAnswer(answer);
</script>

Where handleAnswer(param) is a method defined on the website
(similar to the ajax-handler).

It worked well across domain-boundaries in FF2, FF3,
Safari, IE5, IE6, IE7 and Chrome.
