    same origin policy as the source requires a script from another site to be run.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy

    You could change the source to use a jquery ajax call to another site which can return jsonp.

    See this for an example: http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#remote-jsonp

    or ensure that the source url given returns jsonp.
