Just sent an email to random.org and received this reply

Thanks for your email. Yes, I am working on a JSONP interface.

Best regards,

You need a server proxy on your domain, or it won't happen. Here's a summary of cross-domain ajax techniques, the only 'real' non-proxy solution, as RichieHindle pointed out, being jsonp. But that requires you to be buddies with the guys at random.org, or for them to have a compelling reason to enable it for you.

Lobby the owner of random.org to provide a jsonp API - that's the only way to make this happen.
