The url would violate cross-site scripting limitations built into the XMLHttpRequest object. Any ajax request has to be on the same domain as the page making the request.

However, it keeps failing. Here are some more details as to my project. I am creating a windows sidebar gadget that needs to connect to a page on a remote server that uses php to generate XML content. I then need to parse through that content to find a specific xml tag, then iterate through the child elements of that tag, extracting the content from each child node and place it in a separate div for each child. My ajax request keeps failing, and I am guessing this is because the url i'm requesting is on a remote server (while the gadget is more or less a local html page). Any ideas on how to work around this and then perform the rest of what is needed? Below is my code thus far.. function init() { var url = 'http://www.myurl.com/xmlneeded.php'; var ajax = new Ajax.Request(url, { method: 'get', onSuccess: updateDisplay, onFailure: alert("FAILED")}) } var updateDisplay = function(transport) { var xmlResponse = transport.responseText; //now i need to find <myParent> in the XML and iterate through the child nodes to extract info } --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
