yeah, it fails because of built in security restrictions - you cannot
access another domain - foey!

This basically means you'll need to call some sort of proxy instead of
the remote URL direct - whether that be via a server side script or
Apache proxying (for example)

Plenty of articles on The Hinterweb

e.g.

http://developer.yahoo.com/javascript/howto-proxy.html

hope that helps
