XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://www.reddit.com/.xml

Question

Does anyone know how to fix this error? I am using jquery 1.6.2

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://www.reddit.com/.xml. Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

$(document).ready(function () {
    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: "http://www.reddit.com/.xml",
        dataType: "xml",
        crossDomain: true,
        success: xmlParser
    });

    // ...
});

Short answer is that crossDomain doesn't work out of the box with xml, but it does work with JSONP. Getting it to work with XML requires some additional work. — Ray Toal
