First script syntax error (") that you have fixed, although you can't access following url http://www.w3schools.com/xml/simple.xml using ajax due to CORS (Cross-origin resource sharing) Policy.

Reason Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at http://www.w3schools.com/xml/simple.xml. This can be fixed by moving the resource to the same domain or enabling CORS.

Thanks girish how to enable CORS

Girish Over a year ago

you can't enable CORS on other domain... it's defined in repose header Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

But if i do the same request using java like jersey client /webservice client I get a response how is it possible?

saikiran Over a year ago

use PHP CURL concept.... since you don't have control over W3schools. I know you are looking a javascript solution but it is better to use any server side language like PHP,JAVA to get XML data.

@chiru you should use same domain url and get api response using CURL on server script.
