Cross-Domain Requests with jQuery 

$(function () { (function getFeed() { $ .get('http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/world/rss.xml') .done(function (feed) { console.info('\Feed received: ', feed); displayProgrammes(feed); }) .fail(function () { console.info('\nError getting the feed.'); }) }()); });

It's a simple Ajax request, nothing more. And yet I get the error message:

Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

Requests in AJAX can only be made to the same domain, this is called the Same Origin Policy ->

(Example of a way around this issue using PHP as a proxy : http://devtreats.blogspot.com/search/label/ajax)

There is another way .... YQL -> Cross-Domain Requests with jQuery
