Question

I have tried the following code, but the AJAX call does not get a response.
Please tell me why I am getting a failed AJAX call.

   $.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    dataType:"html",
    url: "http://www.example.com",
            //url = any url other than the same domain
    success: function(response,status){
        alert(status);
        //$("#search_text").val("");
        //$("#search_results").html(msg);
        //setTimeout('refresh()',2000);

        //alert($("#sw_hdr"));

    }
});

You can’t use AJAX to communicate across domains. Well, you can but jQuery’s Ajax function won’t do it. Look up XSS attacks for more information
