jquery load remote html page

Question

I whant to load remote html page and then parse it. There are bunch of such examples but could anybody explain why I receive this error:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://html.comsci.us/examples/blank.html. Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

when I try to load this html page:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <head>
  <script type="text/javascript"
     src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script>
      $(document).ready(function(){ 
        $.get('http://html.comsci.us/examples/blank.html', function(data) {
           alert('Load was performed.');
        }); 
      });
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

@semsorock, suggestions for future questions: no need for "thank you notes", up-vote/accept answers instead. Try to format code so there is no horizontal scroll (preferably provide small enough samples so there is no vertical scroll either). — Alexei Levenkov

You need to create a script on your own server that requests that page, and you call that script using your ajax request.

The security restriction you are hitting is called "same origin policy" or "cross-domain access".

Ways to work around:

make query server side or with client application
if both sites agree on access you can use CORS, running code on other site
JSONP if other site supports it
