In IE and Opera this works perfectly, but in FF 3.5, Chrome, and
Safari I get a 400 Bad Request. Looking at the request using Fiddler2
and FireBug, something is replacing GET with OPTIONS. But in IE and
Opera, it is still showing up as GET. I don’t get it????

EDIT: I feel like such an idiot for not even thinking of XSS policies. Thanks guys.

    You can’t $.get() from a different domain. Security issues.

    You can go through a proxy script on your server though. You could use PHP or C# (.NET) to get the data for you and return it to your jQuery script.
