I posted this late last night, but got no responses. I thought maybe it scrolled off before anyone had a chance to see it, so I'm posting again. Sorry if this is bad form, I'm new to these groups...
I'm having an issue with the $.get() method. When I request a file local to my site (with a relative path), everything works fine. When I request the same file with a full URL, the $.get() isn't successful. I don't know if its a security issue (requesting data from a 3rd party site) or maybe a timing issue, or maybe something else. Here's the essence of the call when it fails: $.get('http://files.myurl.com/myxml.xml', function (data) { alert('got it'); } If I call it with just the 'myxml.xml' as the path, it works fine. Thanks!
