jQuery Call to WebService returns "No Transport" error

If your jQuery page isn't being loaded from http://localhost:54473 then this issue is probably because you're trying to make cross-domain request.

Update 1 Take a look at this blog post.

Update 2 If this is indeed the problem (and I suspect it is), you might want to check out JSONP as a solution. Here are a few links that might help you get started:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON
• http://remysharp.com/2007/10/08/what-is-jsonp/

Add this: jQuery.support.cors = true;

It enables cross-site scripting in jQuery (introduced after 1.4x, I believe).

We were using a really old version of jQuery (1.3.2) and swapped it out for 1.6.1. Everything was working, except .ajax() calls. Adding the above line fixed the problem.
