how can I handle the append() method in jQuery?

Question

I have a page that called redirect.php, this page has several attributes that I want to send them to another page, actually I write this code :

<script type="text/javascript">
        $.ajax({        
            url: "http://www.mysite.com/getdata.php",
            context: document.body,
            success: function(data) {
                $('body').append(data);
            }
        });
 </script>

But it does not work in firefox, in firefox not happens anything but in IE it worked. when I write exact name of page for example url: "getdata.php" it work perfectly but with absolute address is not :( Why it doesn't work in firefix? any idea? thanks for your help ...

Probably a same origin policy violation but I'm not sure why only Firefox. Are you browsing http://mysite.com/ in Firefox (no www)? — Phil

It's a security restriction of Firefox not to allow cross-domain Ajax requests.

Make sure you are pointing at a PHP document that is located on your server or localhost. It cannot be a subdomain either. It has to be in a sub or main folder for it to work

If you search Google for Firefox cross domain ajax there's quite a bit about it. Jonah's solution is best if possible, if you really need cross domain look into JSONP too.
