How can I get jQuery post to work with a salesforce WebToLead

Question

I have a page with a form that posts to salesforce.com's webto Lead service. I am trying to make an ajax version of this using jQuery. Though the form in the page posts fine and I receive the data in my salesforce, Once I make an identical post structure to this form and then post with jQuery I get a 405. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Is there a difference between a posted form and a jquery post as far as what the receiving website can see? Select the correct answer from above options

Answer 1

I believe that you are facing cross-domain issues. So, to solve this problem, you need to use ajax to post a script on your domain. This will then use a cURL to make a post to the external domain.
