javascript on localhost can't access localhost:5984?
I'm working on an html page hosted on localhost that uses javascript
to pull some data from my local couchdb.
I guess I'm running into the cross-domain issue, because I'm getting
an error "access to restricted URI denied."
Anyhow, if I want to interact with couchdb using javascript, how do I
do it? do I need to keep my HTML file in couchdb itself?

Matt,
It's easy to store html in attachments to couchdb docs. For some
examples about how to do it, check out this github project, which is
an ajax blog that lives on couchdb
http://github.com/jchris/couchdb-example-blog/tree/master
It uses a Ruby script which is part of my CouchRest library to upload
a directory structure into a design document. It's considered good
practice to keep all the components of an application in a single
design doc. This way, index.html and your views will replicate
together, etc.
Jan is working on a Python port of the `couchapp` script so hopefully
the install story will get cleaner.

I'm on Mac OS X, so I just setup a reverse proxy/URL rewriting for the
built-in apache server.
so that, say, my local app is at http://locahost/app, all the Ajax
requests are made to http://locahost/app/db
I used this example to help me:

Thanks Mr Lenz, worked like a charm.

I got it working on my MacBook just using the built-in apache server
and setting up a virtual host/reverse proxy.
So my say app was at localhost/app, all the Ajax requests went to
localhost/app/db
I got the tip from here:

There is an other method called JSONP. It was asked a couple of times
before. But I don't know if it is implemented yet.

After I wrote this, I found this blog post that mentioned the built-in
web server inside couchdb:
http://jan.prima.de/~jan/plok/archives/108-Programming-CouchDB-with-Javascript.html
Is this still a recommended method?
