MSDN has an article that describes native xmlhttp.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537505(v=vs.85).aspx#_id
As the article describes, I have enabled native xml http. But this xml demo still doesn’t run on my local server. It runs on the original site. If I download it to the local web server, it doesn’t. The xmlhttp request
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
doesn’t return an object.
The demo is from the w3schools site http://www.w3schools.com/xml/tryit.asp?filename=tryxml_app_first.
This is the HTML.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","cd_catalog.xml",false);
xmlhttp.send();
xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML;
x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("CD");
//i=0;
function displayCD(i)
{
artist=(x[i].getElementsByTagName("ARTIST")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
title=(x[i].getElementsByTagName("TITLE")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
year=(x[i].getElementsByTagName("YEAR")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);

document.getElementById("showCD").innerHTML=txt;

Where do the security issues happen that cause this demo to not run?
The problem was the formatting in the xml file that I was trying to open with the xmlhttprequest. When I removed the – in the file, it worked. Here is the HTML that worked along with the XML.
HTML file.
XML file.
Thanks for your help.
