[NF] Any Ajax gurus out there please!

[Graham Brown (CompSYS)]

Hi all

I have this code on one site (test_site_a.co.uk...) what it does is call an
asp file called higson.asp on a completely different website which then
returns a html table of subscribers. The code in this JS then writes out
that table directly with document.write.

This works just fine in IE but fails miserably in Firefox. No error message
just doesn't do anything.

I've read that FF does not allow http ajax calls across different domains,
anybody know if that is correct please?

Cheers
Graham
