XMLHttpRequest.open Permission Denied

[johnnyb1726]

Can someone please tell me why I get a "Permission denied to call method XMLHttpRequest.open" error? Here is my script:

var xmlHttp
 
function runSearch(element){
    xmlHttp=GetXmlHttpObject();
 
    if( xmlHttp == null ){
        alert("I think it is time to upgrade your browser");
        return;
    }
 
     var url = 'http://search.yahooapis.com/WebSearchService/V1/webSearch?';
             url += 'appid=EKQTGpvV34GFx1J7y44QjPRfmvGmAAYKSdY3oUHcWH7Dgg6wsUNoxWaBU4_uf.lSjo0-';
             url += '&results=20';
             url += '&site=www.espn.com';
             url += '&output=json';
             url += '&query=' + element
             url += '&callback=' + callback;
    try{
        xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = callback;
        xmlHttp.open("GET", url, true);
        xmlHttp.send(null);
    }
    catch(e){
        alert(e);
    }
}
 
function callback(jsonObject){
    alert(jsonObject.ResultSet.totalResultsAvailable);
}
function GetXmlHttpObject()
{
var xmlHttp=null;
try
  {
  // Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari
  xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
catch (e)
  {
  // Internet Explorer
  try
    {
    xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
    }
  catch (e)
    {
    xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    }
  }
return xmlHttp;
}
 

Thank you for your help

It's from a different domain. Let your server-side script make the cross-domain request and return the result. Use Ajax to make the request to the script on your own domain.
