I am trying to create a simple post request but I can't get the response from the server as far as I can tell there's nothing wrong with it but I might be wrong:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function(){
        $.post("http://myurl.com/receiver/", { name: "Sean", email: "myemail@domain.com" }, function(data){
            var result = $.parseJSON(data);
            console.log(result);
            alert(result);
        });
    });
</script>

EDIT

opening Chrome dev tools gives me:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://myurl.com/receiver/. Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

I tried uploading to my server or running chrome with --allow-file-access-from-filesbut I get the same message

What do your browser tools say? – Brad Sep 19 '12 at 21:25
ah yes sorry forgot to add that hold on, I'll update – Tsundoku Sep 19 '12 at 21:26
You probably need to give some insight into what is supposed to happen on the serer receiving the request. Outside of needing clarification on whether this is a cross-domain request, I don't see any issue with the javascript here. – Mike Brant Sep 19 '12 at 21:28
yes from my domain to another that's true, that's not possible right? is there a work around to create a post request? – Tsundoku Sep 19 '12 at 21:28
Yes, do it from your server, not the browser. – Kevin B Sep 19 '12 at 21:28
The only other possible solution is to use CORS – Kevin B Sep 19 '12 at 21:29
You can make cross domain requests and get jsonp back as analternative to regular json – Scott Selby Sep 19 '12 at 21:30
