In the example solr project when you start it up by calling the following line:
 
java -jar start
 
You are starting a Jetty server on your local machine that's going to serve the solr results. This server is not able to do CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing). Which means that if you tried to do an AJAX call from a webpage of a different origin than the server itself you would be denied a response.
 
To fix this you first need to get the apropriate jars to allow for cross-domain resource sharing.
 
I used the following jar:
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/eclipse/jetty/jetty-servlets/8.1.10.v20130312/
