Have a quick one here, I'm using the ActiveXObject in javascript to load
an xml file that does not exist on my server, but it exists on another server.
The problem is I get an IE error saying Access Denied at the xml.load line
If I put the file on my local machine on the C drive of my personal computer it works fine.

var xml = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xml.async = false;
xml.load("http://www.engadget.com/rss.xml");

Is it not possible to load a file on my server from a remote server??
Is it not possible using the ActiveXObject in javascript???

thanks!!

JavaScript has a Samin Domain policy, so you can only get information from your own domain. You need to use a serverside proxy to get the information.
