Yes. It is a security-related restriction, which supported by many
(all?) browsers. Don't ask me why.
There's several reasons, but none of them are all that good. Flash
doesn't have this restriction, for example, so long as the server
permits the user to talk to it.
There is a way to sort-of work around this if you are making
XMLHttpRequests to another server in the same domain, Abe Fettig has
done some great work in figuring out how to actually make that happen:
