problem using get [SOLVED]

I can't seem to make

$.get

work with web addresses

For example something like

$.get("local.html", function(page)
       {
         alert("success !!!");
   });


works, the alert appears.

but I try something like

$.get("http://www.somewebsite", function(page)
   {
         alert("success !!!");
   });

it doesn't work. Can anyone please explain why?

Thanks
