Ajax in Outlook

Hi,

I'm trying to get my PHP scripts to email me an email which includes a
button to enable a feature, which I'd like to be done via AJAX so the
user can open the resulting page within their Outlook email rather
than having to open a web browser.

My script is below, however I'm slightly confused, because when run in
Outlook or outside the webserver directory it won't work, but run
inside, it will. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong? I may have
seen somewhere about accessing XML on another server - is it that AJAX
can't access files from a different URL?

Thanks

A

Hi,

The day the my mailreader starts executing Ajax, I switch. ;-)

One thing about Ajax: It cannot make requests to other domains than the one
serving the page that contains your Ajax. As you described yourself above.

In what domain an email in Outlook resides.... I can only guess. Maybe
localhost, maybe something stupid M$-like.

I don't expect you can pull that trick: Ajax in an emailclient.
Only in broken emailclients, so you might give it another shot with Outlook.

So I think you are stuck with opening a browser to get some serious
interaction going.

Regards,
Erwin Moller

I have an app using Ajax. The scriptmanager is within the form that is within the master page. I also have web user controls that are doing partial rendering and are "borrowing" or "inheriting" the scriptmanager from the master page. Heck, when they're rendered, the scriptmanager is on all the pages and it works. However, in the VS2005 designer, I constantly see "Can't render image" errors, and it's nearly impossible to effectively use...
