cross site ajax problem [SOLVED]

cross site ajax problem [SOLVED]

Hi,

I'm new to jquery or ajax, and I have run into a simple problem almost exactly like this. The topic is marked [SOLVED] but I can't see a solution.

I can use .get or .load to get a page on my server like $('#result').load("helloworld.html"), but failed to get anything back with url starting http://
And I see my request (from firebug) is a OPTION instead of GET... any idea with that?

Can anyone tell me why the code below doesn't work (by alerting success)?
(FYI, What I'm trying to do is to make a ajax call to a dictionary site and display the result.)

Thanks in advance for any help~~

Chris
