Hi RWF,
You can make a cross site call if the server knows how to speak JSONP. Remy Sharp (no relation) had a great blog post about this a while back:

in the docs: http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/jQuery.ajax#options it says: ******** As of jQuery 1.2, you can load JSON data located on another domain if you specify a JSONP callback, which can be done like so: "myurl? callback=?". jQuery automatically replaces the ? with the correct method name to call, calling your specified callback. Or, if you set the dataType to "jsonp" a callback will be automatically added to your Ajax request. ********* Is there an example of this? This makes it sound like I can make a cross site request to a webservice that returns a JSON object and jquery will handle the rest.
