Communicating with a server...

[Gapless]

I'm a bit new to javascript, but I'd like to know if there is any way for it to send/receive text from/to a server being hosted elsewhere. If this is not possible, what would be the best web-based language to do this in?

Thanks!

In JavaScript, you cannot go so far as to even interact with your own server, let alone a different one. The only cross-server server-side programming that I'm aware may be possible is through an FTP protocol, which requires user authentication, of course...
