• If they support JSONP, you can add that switch. You have to learn how to do it, though. This tutorial isn't too bad. – Jared Farrish Commented Jun 28, 2012 at 7:07
• Actually, you'd probably want CORS if that site doesn't have a JSONP feed. Of course, the browser has to support it too. – Jared Farrish Commented Jun 28, 2012 at 7:10
• Without JSONP cant we render the content using some other methods?? – Santhanam Commented Jun 28, 2012 at 7:17
• CORS. Or a server-routed proxy using cURL or something. It's a same-origin issue; there's only a few ways around it. – Jared Farrish Commented Jun 28, 2012 at 7:25
• can also use a 3rd party proxy like Yahoo YQL. Can get a jsonp url set up in minutes in YQL console – charlietfl Commented Jun 28, 2012 at 7:47

You can use YQL,

var url = 'http://www.webservicex/CurrencyConvertor.asmx/ConversionRate?FromCurrency=INR&ToCurrency=AUD'; // website you want to scrape
var yql = 'http://query.yahooapis./v1/public/yql?q=' + encodeURIComponent('select * from xml where url="' + url + '"') + '&format=json&callback=?';  
$.getJSON(yql,function(data){  
    if(data.query.results){
        var result = data.query.results.double.content.replace(/<script[^>]*>[\s\S]*?<\/script>/gi, '');
        alert(result);
    }
});

You can write your own script on server on the same domain that does request to the webservicex and returns data in any format that you want.

So, ajax request -> your server (on the same domain) -> webservicex

It seems that server does not support CORS. Then you won't be able to do this with an ajax call due to the same origin policy
