Javascript / Client Side Development :: Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property Window.processXML


	Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property Window.processXML Hi - I have some javascript that works when I run it from a server, but I need to run it locally. When I try to execute it locally I get the following error: Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property Window.processXML Is there a way to get around this issue? default.htm :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <html> <TITLE>Exercise #3 - Request/Response Application</TITLE> <!-- frames --> <FRAMESET ROWS=",20"> <FRAME NAME="InputFrame" SRC="InputForm.htm" > <FRAME NAME="PostFrame" SRC="postForm.htm" SCROLLING="no" NORESIZE> </FRAMESET> </HTML> :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: InputForm.htm :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Input Form</TITLE> <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> // Global variables that get set when the frames are loaded var theInputFormOBJ; var theHost; //function that populates global variables function init(){ theInputFormOBJ = document.theInputForm; theHost = "bugjuice"; //set default host and ArcIMS Service values theInputFormOBJ.Service.value = "test2"; theInputFormOBJ.Host.value = theHost; } // clear the response box function clearResponse() { theInputFormOBJ.Response.value = ""; } function sendXML() { alert ("send XML"); //Exercise 03, Step 05.2: Get the value of the service name and the request from "theInputForm" and put // them in variables called theService and theRequest respectively var theService = theInputFormOBJ.Service.value; var theRequest = theInputFormOBJ.Request.value; //Exercise 03, Step 05.3: Construct the action for the "theInputForm" and put the value in a variable // called actionURL (HINT: The action is a URL made up of the host name and //a call to the servlet.

You can't access the document of a frame if it's loaded from a domain that's different from the original page location. The are hacks to get around it, but it's there as a security protocol, so someone can't use JavaScript to transmit, say a password when you enter it on another Web site.

So it sounds like the issue locally is that I don't have a domain when the source is say file://C:/js/files/deafult.htm. Does that sound correct? Does one of the hacks involve using 'document.domain'? Could you point me in the right direction to track down a hack that would allow me to run locally instead of from a server?
