SCRIPT5 Access is denied in IE9 on xmlhttprequest

Question

var xhttp new XMLHttpRequest    xhttp open  GET    foo xml   false     F12 pops back  SCRIPT5  Access is denied  on Line 95  which is the xhttp open line   My JavaScript seems well-formed  and Firefox does what I think it should   I ve read a lot of questions very similar to this one  so I ve checked out the Same Origin Policy  but I can t see how it d apply considering foo xml is in the same directory as the html file  I opened up the scripting permissions on my local intranet  and told McAfee to take a five-minute break  just to be sure  I even tried running IE as admin  so this can t really be a permissions issue can it  Why else would IE be denied access to a local file

Probably you are requesting for an external resource  this case IE needs the XDomain object  See the sample code below for how to make ajax request for all browsers with cross domains   Tork post   function  url data callBack callBackParameter       if  url indexOf      gt 0           data   url substring url indexOf      1    amp    data          url   url substring 0 url indexOf                  data      amp randomNumberG     Math random      Tork debug   amp debug 1           var xmlhttp      if  window XDomainRequest                xmlhttp new XDomainRequest            xmlhttp onload   function   callBack xmlhttp responseText              else if  window XMLHttpRequest          xmlhttp new XMLHttpRequest        else         xmlhttp new ActiveXObject  Microsoft XMLHTTP        xmlhttp onreadystatechange function                 if  xmlhttp readyState  4  amp  amp  xmlhttp status  200               Tork msg  Response   xmlhttp responseText               callBack xmlhttp responseText callBackParameter               Tork showLoadingScreen false                       xmlhttp open  POST  Tork baseURL url true       xmlhttp setRequestHeader  Content-type   application x-www-form-urlencoded        xmlhttp send data

I think that the issue is that the file is on your local computer  and IE is denying access because if it let scripts have access to files on the comp that the browser is running on  that would be a HUGE security hole  If you have access to a server or another comp that you could use as one  maybe you could try putting the files on the that  and then running the scripts as you would from a website
