Question

I m using AJAX to get a PHP file from another domain name.

In fact the domain where I have installed the jQuery function does not support the PHP send mail function, so I had to use an external web server to send the emails out.

This is what I have done with jQuery:

if(hasError == false) {

        var referenteVal = $("#referente").val();
        var cittaVal = $("#citta").val();
        var provinciaVal = $("#provincia").val();
        var offertaVal = $("#offerta").val();
            $.get("http://externaldomain.com/send_mail.php",
                { nome: emailToVal, email: emailFromVal, telefono: telefonoVal, referente: referenteVal, citta: cittaVal, provincia: provinciaVal, commento: messaggioVal, offerta: offertaVal},
                    function(data){
                    if(data=='errore') {
                        alert('ERRORE'); }
                        else{
                        alert('Grazie! Messaggio inviato. La ricontatteremo il prima possibile.');
                        $.fancybox.close();
                        }
                    }
                 );

Now this code works just fine in every browser but NOT in IE.

In fact in IE I get an Access Denied Error for my jQuery code!!

How do I fix it?

What is the problem?

Why IE is not allowing me to do a GET request to a different domain name??

Thanks!

If you want to make call to different domains you should use $.ajax() and set crossDomain to true and dataType to jsonp i think.
