How do I use Access-Control-Allow-Origin? Does it just go in between the html head tags?

I'm trying to allow cross domain requests, but I don't know where to put Access-Control-Allow-Origin. Does it go in the html request file or index.html? I put this code in my html request file, don't laugh at me if this is way off.

<head>
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
</head>

Access-Control-Allow-Origin can't go inside the head tags, it is an html header so it belongs in php script.

It is an HTTP header, not an HTML header. There are many ways to set it, PHP is just one. – Quentin Aug 11 '11 at 08:41
