Question

For some reason the jquery includes on this page throws a 1012 error but only if I view this page from the domain without the www

http://marchofdimes.com/ovulation_calendar.html

The error doesn’t show up from the www subdomain.

http://www.marchofdimes.com/ovulation_calendar.html

I could change the script src to include a full path name, I suppose that might solve the problem but wanted to ask why it’s happening in the first place. And the recommended fix.

Thanks

The problem is the ajax call you make with this line

$("#result_message").load('http://www.marchofdimes.com/hs.xsl/oc_Form.xml',..

change it to

$("#result_message").load('/hs.xsl/oc_Form.xml',...

The issue is that an ajax call from the non-www to the www violates the same origin policy
