This document discusses outsourcing front-end platforms and cross-domain issues. It describes different methods for embedding third-party content, including Flash, iframes, and DHTML. Flash embedding allows communication with the main page but not the third-party server. Iframes isolate third-party code due to same-origin policy limitations. DHTML embedding allows full interaction with the main page but prohibits cross-domain requests without workarounds. The document also covers related issues like compatibility with document types, CSS overrides, JavaScript conflicts, and session handling across domains.
