javascript - Ajax: Load XML from different domain?

Question

I have signed up(paid) for Google site search. They have me a url of a sort of web service where I can send a query to it, it searches my site, and it returns XML of the search results. Well I am trying to load this XML via Ajax from a page on my site but I cannot. I can load from any of my pages on my domain so I am assuming it is because of the XML being on Google's domain. So there has got to be a way to load it though, I don't think they would have given me the URL if I couldn't do anything with it lol. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

UPDATE:

this is what the page says on google that gave me the XML:

How to get XML

You can get XML results for your search engine by replacing query+terms with your search query in this URL:

http://www.google.com/cse?cx=MY_UNIQUE_KEY&client=google-csbe&output=xml_no_dtd&q=query+terms

Where MY_UNIQUE_KEY = my unique key.

You can't load external files with AJAX. However, you can set up a file on your own server that makes the content available on your server. For instance in PHP, you could write a file googlexml.php:

<?php
@readfile("http://www.google.com/cse?cx=MY_UNIQUE_KEY&client=googlecsbe&output=xml_no_dtd&q=query+terms");
?>

And then you could access that with AJAX. I'm not sure if Google's terms of use will let you do that, but if they do, then this is an option.
