Problem with accessing a file on server!

[hongthanh168]

I have XML file (myData.xml) and a HTML page (myPage.htm) in the same folder named mySimplePage. I want to read data from this XML file and display it's content on HTML page. I up the folder mySimplePage to localhost by Create a Virtual Directory / mySimplePage...I have some scripts that:

function loadXML()
{
    var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
        xmlDoc.async="false";
    xmlDoc.load("http://localhost/mySimplePage/myData.xml"); //error here =>Access is Denied
    var root=xmlDoc.documentElement;    
}  

I don't know why. Please help me.
Thanks.

More information:
When I type http://localhost/mySimplePage/myData.xml, I can browse the content of this file.

But I don't understand why I can't access this XML file (I use IE)?

Which version of IE are you using?

You may need to change some settings.
