Cross domain AJAX in plain html file

I have an app in plain html file (no server). How do I do cross domain requests (from javascript)?

Browser reports error: XMLHttpRequest cannot load '*'. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

I tried the following, but no dice.

<meta http-equiv="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" content="*"/>

You need to set an Access-Control-Allow-Origin HTTP header (not an HTML <meta> tag) on the target resource. Set it to either Access-Control-Allow-Origin: source-domain.example.com to allow only your source domain access to it or Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * to allow any domain access. The first is preferred.

meta http-equiv is not equivalent to an HTTP header. You must make a request to an HTTP server, and it must respond with real HTTP headers.
