XMLHttpRequest cannot load "THIS URL" Origin http://localhost:3000 is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

Im getting this error when trying to POST and XML from my company website to FRESHDESK API

here is the javascript 

$(document).ready(function(){
  var data = 
  '<helpdesk_ticket>' +
    '<description>This is a test</description>' +
    '<email>[email protected]</email>' + 
  '</helpdesk_ticket>'
$.support.cors = true;
$.ajax({
    url: 'http://onehouse.freshdesk.com/helpdesk/tickets.xml',
    type: 'POST',
    crossDomain: true,
    data: data,
    dataType: "text",
    username: 'MY API CODE',
    password: 'X',

    success: function (result) {
        alert(result);
    },
  });

the full error is 

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://onehouse.freshdesk.com/helpdesk/tickets.xml. Origin http://localhost:3000 is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin. contacts?oid=00DU0000000I430&retURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ironridge.com&email=ma…utes%5D%5Bdescription_html%5D=safsadfsdaf&00NU0000002xpYP=&submit=Submit:1

This is a CORS feature (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing). Even though you set crossDomain to true in your request, the server that you post to has to support CORS for this to work. Namely, the server has to respond with specific HTTP headers for the browser to allow this request.

It says it right there in the error.

You cannot do any AJAX requests (aside from jsonp) to a different domain due to Access-Control-Allow-Origin.
