Drupal services XML-RPC access from javascript

I am trying to access the XML-RPC of my local drupal installation, from javascript. Here is the code:

$.ajax({
            type: "POST",
    url: "http://www.sms2.com/services/xmlrpc",
    dataType: "xml",
    data: {"method": "node.get",
                "nid": 1
            },
    success: function(msg) {
        //alert("data: " + msg.type );  
                    console.log("amrit");
    }
});

My drupal index file is in /home/dark/web_root/sms2/index.php and HTML file is in /home/dark/web_root/sms2/test.html

'sms2' is set from /etc/hosts file.

This is the response I am getting:

can anyone tell me what going on? I tried almost all the possible options but of no use..

POST tab:

Its working fine from the XML-RPC admin screen!

Thanks

As shown in the screenshot of your POST tab, You are not POSTing data in the format expected for an XML-RPC call. So when the Services's XML-RPC handler try to read your data, it fails with the returned error.

The same error is discussed at http://groups.drupal.org/node/6823#comment-478604 with possible solution.

If you only build JavaScript client, you don't need to use the XML-RPC backend for Services. Services 3.x (beta) provides a REST backend supporting both XML and JSON. For earlier releases one of the JSON, JSON-RPC and REST backend should be easier to work with.

Off course, you can also use an XML-RPC JavaScript library (compatible with jQuery).
