CFAjax - Permission denied to call method XMLHttpRequest open

I have a few minutes, so I thought I would see what all the hype about AJax is.  I downloaded CFAjax onto my server, but when I try to run the examples, I am getting an error message in Firefox ("Permission denied to call method XMLHttpRequest.open") and a security warning in IE.  When I run the examples online however, things work fine.  Is there something special that needs to be setup on the server for CFAjax to work? Thanks -- Jeff

Could it be you're trying to run the examples in a way that has them pointing at a remote server (to get data) that's not the same one on which you served the pages (to view the data)?

As far as I can tell, no.  I have not made any changes to the code.  I just downloaded the 1.2.1 zip, expanded it into my wwwroot, and renamed the folder to be 'ajax' in order to correspond to the includes.  I have not changed any of the code.

How about this: are you trying to run the code in an SSL-protected area of your site? It's possible/likely that some portion of the code or generated code makes reference to a hard-coded http:, where for that scenario it may be necessary to change that to https:. Just a guess.

Are you browsing the examples from your server or by opening the files directly from the hard drive? > As far as I can tell, no.  I have not made any changes to the code.  I just > downloaded the 1.2.1 zip, expanded it into my wwwroot, and renamed the > folder to be 'ajax' in order to correspond to the includes.  I have not > changed any of the code.

I believe that both browsers will limit what script can run on the local machine.... is your webroot on the local machine? In IE you can get around this by placing the code in an HTA container (which loosens restrictions) or by checking the "Allow active content to run on files on my computer" option in the "Tools" menu, "Internet Options" item, "Advanced" tab, "Security" group. I'm not sure that it will help, but doing so allowed certain script I was working on to finally run. Jim Davis

Jeff, I think I figured out the problem you were hitting. If you setup CFAXAC (or by default left it setup) to respond to localhost requests, but you're running it at 127.0.0.1, that will cause this problem. Either change the URL, or run the installation.cfm to change the setup. Let me know if that works for you.

If you haven't solved this yet, are you calling the page using HTTP or are you just opening the files, locally, with your browser? You must use HTTP or you will get these warnings. M!ke XMLHttpRequest.open As far as I can tell, no.  I have not made any changes to the code.  I just downloaded the 1.2.1 zip, expanded it into my wwwroot, and renamed the folder to be 'ajax' in order to correspond to the includes.  I have not changed any of the code.
