You can not get data from other websites because of what is know as Same Origin Policy:

In puting, the same origin policy is an important security concept for a number of browser-side programming languages, such as JavaScript. The policy permits scripts running on pages originating from the same site to access each other's methods and properties with no specific restrictions, but prevents access to most methods and properties across pages on different sites.1

To workaround that, you should implement JSONP. Learn more about it here.

Or you may also use Yahoo's YQL, see:

• Quick Tip: Cross Domain AJAX Request with YQL and jQuery

You can't do this because of crossdomain security policies. I remend you load the webpages data with PHP (easy way is file_get_contents, pro way is curl) and load that php with your jquery.

Same domain - simple. Cross-domain - difficult. Not natively supported except in old versions of IE (5.5 and 6)

If the page being scraped is small enough then you can use the Yahoo Pipes service to fetch the information and pass it back to the app as a JSON string. For anything bigger or more plicated use the Google App Engine or run the php fetching of data through a free web Host.
