title: Simple cross domain html request with jquery? Trying to use plug-in
body: <p>I'm trying to perform a simple html request using jquery with the code below.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$.get('http://externalsite.com/status.html', function(data) {
  
  if (data == 1) {
  //do something
  }
  
  else {
  //do something else
  }
  
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm using the cross domain request plugin found at <a href="http://james.padolsey.com/javascript/cross-domain-requests-with-jquery/" rel="nofollow">http://james.padolsey.com/javascript/cross-domain-requests-with-jquery/</a>
  and I added the .js script to my html file, but what's next?  The example uses a #container and a load from google, but I'm lost as to what I do for an html request.  It says it works for any .get request, I just don't know how to do it.  Thanks for your help.</p>
