jQuery POST to PHP doesn't get to success function

I have a simple jQuery post function that calls PHP script in order to return value from the database.

In Firebug I see that the PHP file is being called with 200 OK status, however the success function in JS is not being called.

To test the problem I have changed the PHP to only echo a simple string, but it doesn't work as well.

When I view the PHP file directly in the browser I do see the echoed string.

Here is the JS code:

$.post(PATH + "load.php", { id: _id },
    function (data) {
        console.log("LOADED " + data);
});

And here is the simple PHP code:

<?
echo "bla bla bla"
?>

I don't know what the problem is. My HTML+JS file is local and it calls an online PHP file. Maybe this is the reason? Any help will be appreciated.

Answer: Yes
Reason: Same origin policy rule

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy

Grant Thomas suggested a possible workaround: you can delegate the call to a method on same-origin server which calls external resource.
