  <script type="dojo/method">this.setStructure([{cells: [[{field: "isbn", name: "ISBN", width: 10}, {field: "author", name: "Author", width: 10}, {field: "title", name: "Title", width: 'auto'}]]}]);</script>
</div>

Answer 1

The data store is bound by "the same origin" restrictions like all data sources in web applications. You should either proxy the other server using your server, or consider alternative means of data access, e.g., JSONP, or the window-name transport.

Thanks Eugene, that's what i did. I used Apache web server's Proxy/Reverse proxy to make the data source appear to come from the same domain.
