I have an ajax code that works fine in firefox, but not in IE. The bit of code we're interested in is:
then...
This works lovely until the line:
Where IE enjoys to spit me an error message: "Access denied". The only explanation I can find for this is that I've requested it to open a file it isn't allowed to, which I havent. I am currently still testing this on my home PC (not a server yet), and the file I've requested it to open is (as you can see) in the same folder as this file.
I really don't get why this doesn't work, so I thought I'd let you guys have a look, cause having an extra pair of eyes that hasn't coded this from scratch always helps. Thanks in advance
Code:
<a href=# onclick='view("ajaxpage","news.html","newsButton","news");'><img src="News2.gif" border="0" style="position: absolute; top: 118px; left: 605px;" name="newsButton"></a>
Code:
<script type=text/javascript language=javascript> var homePage="true"; var sessionsPage="false"; var montessoriPage="false"; var contactPage="false"; var ajaxPage="false"; var page; function view(page,url,button,buttonimg) { document.getElementById(page).style.visibility='visible'; if(page=="") { return } ajaxPage="false"; if(page=="ajaxpage") { ajaxPage="true"; document[button].src=buttonimg+'.gif'; document.getElementById("ajaxpage").style.visibility="visible"; http=getHTTPObject(); if(http==null) { document.getElementById('ajaxpage').innerHTML="<img src='error.jpg'>Your browser does not support the scripts for this page"; return; } http.open("POST",url,true); http.onreadystatechange = loadDocument; http.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'); http.send("firefoxfix=true"); } else { document.getElementById("ajaxpage").style.visibility="hidden"; document["newsButton"].src='news2.gif'; } } function loadDocument() { if (http.readyState==4 || http.readyState=="complete") { document.getElementById("ajaxpage").innerHTML = http.responseText } } function getHTTPObject() { var objXMLHttp=null if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { objXMLHttp=new XMLHttpRequest() } else if (window.ActiveXObject) { objXMLHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") } return objXMLHttp } </script>
Code:
http.open("POST",url,true);
