Without any further information, I am going to guess that it's probably an OAuth issue. Unfortunately, I don't think that you will be able to use jQuery to do this. I'm betting that the API methods you are calling with jQuery don't require any OAuth authentication. I suppose it's possible that you could do all of the OAuth negotiation and signing with straight javascript (because you'll have to build the HTTP request yourself, instead of the very handy jQuery AJAX functions), but it's not going to be easy. You'll probably have much better luck using a server side scripting language (such as PHP, Perl, Phython, Ruby, etc)
There is a list of OAuth libraries available here: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/oauth_libraries Apparently there is actually a Javascript OAuth library, but as they mention on that page you probably shouldn't use it (because among other things you'll likely end up exposing your Consumer token and secret to anyone looking at your source code).
