ajax error status 0 with empty error in GETcalls

Question

I have a ajax call, but is failing everytime with error:"", status:0, but the StatusCode is 200OK. Any help will be appreciated with an working example as im new to ajax.

    $.ajax({
    type: 'GET',
    url: "http://www.myapifilms.com/imdb/inTheaters",
    cache: false,
    crossDomain: true,
    cache: false,
    timeout: 10000000,
    success: function(data) {
        MoviesData = data;
    },
    error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
        alert("Ajax error");
    }
});

please try to display returned data as `alert(data);`. What do you get? — , Aug 05 '15 at 12:39
JavaScript cannot make requests to third party domains due to the [Same Origin Policy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-origin_policy). It appears this domain supports JSONP, so you need to use that instead. — Rory McCrossan, Aug 05 '15 at 12:42
What does the JavaScript console say? What does the `errorThrowm` variable in your error handler say? — Quentin, Aug 05 '15 at 12:44

This is most likely due to the target cross-domain server denying your request. If you control the target server, you can add a Access-Control-Allow-Origin tag to the .htaccess file to enable cross domain requests, but otherwise, I would recommend looking for some other method (instead of ajax) of extracting the data you want from the target server/website.
