Ajax remote request

This has been puzzling me all day.

I have a site called TheClanIndex and I am wanting to release ventrilo monitors for my members. Now I have the following code for users to put on their website:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- Ventrilo Monitor from TheClanIndex.com
tci_ventip = '85.236.100.69';
tci_ventport = '11084';
tci_ventheight = 300;
tci_ventwidth = 160;
tci_ventbgcolor = '333333';
tci_ventfontcolor = 'ffcc00';
// Ventrilo Monitor from TheClanIndex.com -->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.theclanindex.com/vent/display.js"></script>

HTML:

So I am linking them to the .js file on my server. The JS file sends an AJAX request to http://www.theclanindex.com/vent/display.php which relays the server information back. This only works if I run the script here: http://www.theclanindex.com/vent/test.php But not if it is run from another URL.

Does anybody know what could be causing this?

 

The problem is lied in your page url:

xhr.open('GET', 'display.php?port=' + tci_ventport + '&bgcolor=' + tci_ventbgcolor + '&fontcolor=' + tci_ventfontcolor + '&ip=' + tci_ventip, true);

It should be 'http://www.theclanindex.com/vent/display.php?port=' + tci_ventport + '&bgcolor=' + tci_ventbgcolor + '&fontcolor=' + tci_ventfontcolor + '&ip=' + tci_ventip

If not then the page will requests the display.php in your client host, not in your host.

 

Well I tried that method, but when I do specify the full URL it doesn't display anything.

 

Please make sure browser cache is refreshed to load updated js file.
Also check out other things. I am sure that you must use the full url.

 

There still seems to be some sort of permission problem I get a ready state 4, but permission denied when I look through Firebug. Is there any special permission I need to set on the display.php ??

MJJ is right.
On your display.php you need a php code:

<?php header('Access-Control: allow <*>'); ?>

 

hmm, I gave that a shot, but still no luck, get this in firebug:

Access to restricted URI denied"  code: "1012

Line 0

Code (markup):

Do I need a certain CHMOD on the display.php ??

 

Firefox 3 supports cross-domain ajax, firefox2 doesn't.

 

Sorted it without AJAX, thanks for your input guys
