The underlying Javascript engines in most modern browsers don't permit Cross-Domain transactions. You will have to use a server-side language such as PHP to do this. Mozilla has a fairly decent description of this issue.

I cannot use PHP I want to get the contents using jquery only . is there a way that I get the contents of the page.

@Rishabh no - it is not allowed. You will need to use PHP, ASP, ColdFusion, or something else.

There is one solution without using any server side technologies. Please see this http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/quick-tip-cross-domain-ajax-request-with-yql-and-jquery/

You may have to process the returned output to suit your need.
