title: Cross domain AJAX requests using JQuery and YQL
body: <p>I need to use YQL (Yahoo Query Language) to perform a cross domain ajax request then bind the XML response into a JSON object and retrieve a value from the XML.  </p>
  
  <p>The link shows how this is done using the YQL service as a proxy for cross domain requests:

  <p>For example I'm trying to load the request below:</p>
  
  <p><code>http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20woeid%20from%20geo.places%20where%20text%20%3D%20%22London%2C%20UK%2C%20UK%22&amp;format=xml</code></p>
  
  <p>After which I need to grab the WOEID value from the XML content returned. 
  Is there a way to use similar code to query the XML data returned?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks alot</p>
