Ah! You will want to read up on CORS: http://enable-cors.org/ To summarize, the problem is that most modern browsers will not allow you to make AJAX requests in Javascript to a different domain than the domain of the page that served the initial content. This is an important protection for users, who otherwise could be bombarded by malicious intent to serve up data from other domains while impersonating you, among other issues (look up cross-site scripting vulnerabilities for more information). CORS is a protocol to allow that restriction to be lifted for certain servers. Read more above and also google CORS, and check with your web host to see if or how you can enable the CORS settings you need. EDIT: Just realized that was probably confusing, edited to clarify a bit.
