Question

I have a jQuery get request that isn’t working. I don’t understand why, because my research leads me to believe this should work, but it doesn’t….

$.get('http://www.triadbarspecials.com/ws/index.php', function(html){
 $('#page').append(html); 
});

#page is a div. I own the domain, and am calling from that domain, so that’s not a problem. I really can’t imagine what is going on here. This should insert HTML directly into the div and work magically, but I’m obviously no Houdini

Here’s a link to the page that makes the request

No, this can’t work because its against the Same Origin Policy:

Ways it that work:

• pull data in an json Object using jsonp
• Being on the same domain and referencing it like /ws/index.php if your request is being done from the same domain.
