Question

Could someone enlighten me as to why including www in a ajax request causes it to fail.

i.e. This works:

$(‘#mydiv’).load(‘http://mydomain.com/getitems‘);

But this doesn’t (returns nothing)

$(‘#mydiv’).load(‘http://www.mydomain.com/getitems‘);

Note that http://www.mydomain.com/getitems is a valid domain, in the sense that if I point my web browser to it I am able to load the page.

Answer 1

Are you calling the script from mydomain.com or from http://www.mydomain.com or from otherdomain.com ?

May be you are trying to do some kind of cross site scripting with out knowing it .
