I am working on a project in which i need to fetch data from php page and display it on the server .

                     var jsonResponse="";
                    window.onload=function()
                    { 
                        xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
                        xmlhttp.open("GET","http://www.ilexsquare.com/EC/menu.php",true);
                        xmlhttp.send();
                        xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=dataReturn;
                    }
                    function dataReturn()

This is related to Cross Origin Policy.

Consider the following:

xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.open("GET","http://www.ilexsquare.com/EC/menu.php",true);
xmlhttp.send();

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://www.ilexsquare.com/EC/menu.php. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://stackoverflow.com' is therefore not allowed access.

There is a great resources on enabling this on your server if you want to use CORS at http://enable-cors.org/server.html

The header Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * needs to be sent back as a response.

This could be as simple as adding header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *"); to the top of that PHP page.
