jQuery External RSS Feed Parser?

javascript jquery jquery-plugins rss feedparser

I've been looking around for a decent jQuery feed/XML parser and found good plugins like jFeed and jParse (among a few others). None of these support retrieving an external feed though, which is something I'm after.

Pretty sure this is down to jQuery's $.ajax() method rather than the plugins themselves (as they'll be built from this).

Is there some sort of hack I could use to override jQuery, or a raw JavaScript alternative? Better still would be a better plugin, but even the more popular ones I found didn't support it.

Thanks
