Ie Xml Parsing: Access Is Denied

[tinfanide]

function parseXML(method,xml,async){if(window.XMLHttpRequest){  xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();  xmlhttp.open(method,xml,async);  xmlhttp.send();  }else {  xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") ;  xmlhttp.async=async;  xmlhttp.load(xml);  }xmlDoc = xmlhttp.responseXML;}parseXML("GET","assessment.xml",false);

Why in this XML parsing, IE7 reports

Access is denied.

  xmlhttp.open(method,xml,async);

Don't use Internet Explorer to test AJAX on the local filesystem. We get threads about this all the time. Internet Explorer has extra security measures for AJAX on the local filesystem, so just test your AJAX applications in other browsers. On the server it will work fine for Internet Explorer. If you need to test AJAX for Internet Explorer download a server like WAMP and run the file on localhost.
