Hi David,
Thanks for the reply. I just sent an "I'm an idiot post" but since
you were kind enough to reply, I'll go ahead and divulge just how
much on an idiot I am. :)
My Javascript was correct (which is why Firebug showed no errors,
even when I was tracing XmlHTTPRequests). However, the guys who write
browsers are smarter than I am and therefore won't actually let you
execute cross domain scripting security bugs that you have written
into your app.
The good news is, with a little refactoring, I can now have detailed
information bubbles pop up over the top of my Exhibit views.
Thanks for the help!
Scott
