Edit Question
Title
Body
I was trying to hit a web service on a different domain using jQuery's ajax method. After doing some research it looks like it does not allow this is by design to prevent cross site scripting. I came across a work around which was to include this line: $.support.cors = true; at the top of my javascript code. From what I understand this enables cross site scripting in jQuery. Does having this line of code make my site more vulnerable to attack? I've always heard XSS discussed as a security issue, are there legitimate uses for XSS?
