Is it possible to read xml using jQuery from different domain?

Question

I need to parse a xml file using jQuery from an external domain. How can I do that?

This is my code.

$("#mydiv").click(function () {


        $.ajax({
            url: 'http://tester.com/testxml/announcement.xml',
            success: function(data){
                alert( $(data).find('Document:title').text() );
            },
            dataType: 'xml'
        });


    });

Is your domain name listed in the crossdomainpolicy.xml file of targeted domain? — Pavan, Dec 27 '11 at 07:13

You cannot read cross-domain xml using Jquery.ajax().

However, you could try for script-inclusion which works cross-domain

You could...

Use a server side proxy.
Use YQL.
If you can access the code of the second server and don't need to support IE7 and below, set up CORS.
