Blog ≫ 2011 ≫ Why's jquery ajax status not working for me?

Here is my

$.ajax({
  url: 'http://www.clarkeology.com',
  complete: function ( hxr, textStatus ) {
    console.log( 'status ' + textStatus );
    console.log( 'status ' + hxr.status );
  }
});

And here's what my console says:

GET http://www.clarkeology.com/ 200 OK [x] 225ms
status error
status 0

So the console says clarkeology.com returned a 200, but jquery ajax says status is 0. What is going on? jquery api¹ and jquery faq² both say it should work.

UPDATE: I am an idiot, I'm trying this cross domain of course it won't work, thanks for the reminder @hpoom :-(
