Thank you. That explains it very well, and kind of what I expected.

Hi!
Try to debug your application with Firebug extension for Firefox.
You should probably get "uncaught exception: Access to restricted URI
denied" error when trying to access URL that is on other server than
the one script is working on (if it's not local file).
If that is the case it's security issue - you should receive files
from the same server as the script works from. Accessing other server
is cross site reference and AJAX doesn't allow cross site references.
There can be at least 3 solutions:
- you may use wrong address of actual site (for example scripts starts
from some.server.com when there iswww.some.server.comdomain), so you
should repair this (use relative URLs or make your server side
generate actual domain and put into script or make your client side
javascript get domain name from the actual URI)
- you may use some other server, so to do that you should write server
side code (for example with use of sockets in PHP) that will connect,
get XML and send it to your script (will work as a proxy, so the AJAX
call will be within same domain)
- you may try to make an IFRAME dynamically (hidden one) that will
load the data and then take the data from that IFRAME (very unclean
solution, but it should work, there are some well known scripts that
use similar approach to make an AJAX file uploader).
