Hey Justin,
AJAX can only access contents from its originating domain (at least in
most browsers), due to what is called the SOP (Same Origin Policy). You
can't access Google.de from anywhere but Google.de, and so forth. This
also means it won't work on a page accessed as a regular file
(file://...), you'll have to go HTTP.
Just add this as the first line of your script, you'll see:
Ajax.Responders.register({ onException: function(r, e) { alert(e) }});
You'll get an error message displayed when Ajax.Request tries to open
the XHR connection.
What most developers do to circumvent this is implement a "proxy" URL on
their originating domain, which simply forwards the call internally, and
return the exact HTTP response (headers and body).
I believe IE had no such limitation, but apparently your code doesn't
work in there either... Maybe that's because you loaded it from a
regular file:// URL?
