can someone explain the cross domain security re AJAX in IE?
I have a page that calls a web service (WS) from another domain (the target
browser is only IE6) and displays it's results! all works fine when the page
is run from my hdd, however when run from the web I get "Access denied" due
to the cross domain security (I assume).
So I set the browser setting to allow cross domain but this did not seem to
work, I got the same error!
Next I tried adding an "A" record to my domain for the WS, so I had
www.mydomain.com = IP of web server and added ws.mydomain.com = IP of the
server
providing the WS. But I still got the same error even though they are called
using the same domain name!
So what does IE check to establish if its cross domain before allowing the
call using XMLHttpRequest to a domain that is different from where the
calling page is hosted?
thanks
