Update Yes, I did it: getters and setters for IE < 9 and other browsers Update apparently Dojo framework explored this stuff before me Re-Update: More limitations!!! Apparently I have said "Hooray!" too early, @_bga told me that this way is compatible with primitives only since the moment we have a property with an object or a function, this will converted into string.

The concept is simple, we pass the url, including the parameter name used to communicate the callback name, and a callback as second argument ... that's it, 202 216 bytes minified and gzipped ( many thanks @jdalton for the catch ) Here an example: <!-- the generic HTML page --> <script src="JSONP.js"></script> <script> this.onload = function () { var many = 0; JSONP("test.php?callback", function (a, b, c) { this.document.body.innerHTML += [ a, b, ++many, c ].join(" ") + "<br />"; }); JSONP("test.php?callback", function (a, b, c) { this.document.body.innerHTML += [ a, b, ++many, c ].join(" ") + "<br />"; }); }; </script> And here the testable demo result that should work with every bloody damned browser. What's on the server? No...
