Can I call the blockchain.info API with just javascript or jQuery?

I'm trying to load http://blockchain.info/unspent?active=$address. From what i've read it should be possible somehow with cors, but i've been checking urls with this cors test: http://client.cors-api.appspot.com/client, and with or without the "?cors=true" i'm not having much luck.

Has anyone got this to work?
There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

You need to use an ampersand for query parameters: "&cors=true"

ex -
Code:
$.getJSON("http://blockchain.info/unspent?active=1CjPR7Z5ZSyWk6WtXvSFgkptmpoi4UM9BC&cors=true", function (data) { alert(JSON.stringify(data)); });

@coretechs
I've tried a lot of variations and nothing seems to work. I still get this in the console:

Quote
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at http://blockchain.info/unspent?active=1CjPR7Z5ZSyWk6WtXvSFgkptmpoi4UM9BC&cors=true. This can be fixed by moving the resource to the same domain or enabling CORS.
