$.ajax or $.get function get receive only on local files

I need to use $.ajax or $.get to get fetch response from xml file. The thing is that $.ajax or $.get function does not seem to get a response from files that are in remote server. It apparently works on local files only. I am developing the websites from local server, so my serverhost is like 127.0.0.1/. Does anyone know about this problem? Or is there anyway that I can debug this problem at all? I think I have read somewhere where browsers do not allow cross-site-ajax call..but..then how can I make remote host call?

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    $.ajax({
        url: "<?=$request_url?>",
        data: "<?=$data?>",
        success: function(msg){
         alert( "Data Saved: " + msg );
        },
        error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
             $("#output").append(XMLHttpRequest.responseText + "<br />TextStatus: " + textStatus + "<br />ErrorThrown: " + errorThrown);
        }
    })
});
</script>

Browsers don't allow cross-domain ajax calls due to security restrictions

But there are still some workarounds in the wild. Try These

Fortunately, you cannot due to the cross-domain policy. You can however invoke a server side script via your $.ajax call which in turn calls on the remote site script.

Yes, this is correct because you can't access content on another domain using those methods. This is a cross domain scripting security issue.

Take a look at XSS in relation to jQuery and Javascript.
