Why doesn't jquery .load() load a text file from an external website?
- by Edward Tanguay
In the example below, when I click the button, it says "Load was performed" but no text is shown.
I have a clientaccesspolicy.xml in the root directory and am able to asynchronously load the same file from silverlight. So I would think I should be able to access from AJAX as well.
What do I have to change so that the text of the file http://www.tanguay.info/knowsite/data.txt is properly displayed in the #content element?
