uncaught exception: Access to restricted URI denied (NS_ERROR_DOM_BAD_URI)

Hi there,

I am first and foremost used to C code, stuff that has to be compiled prior to its usage. Now, confronted with that "asynchronous javascript and xml" (as I learned this name is abbreviated for), I am running into that problem:

uncaught exception: Access to restricted URI denied (NS_ERROR_DOM_BAD_URI)
(showing up after XMLHttpRequest() is properly initialized, on invocation of its open()-method)

Thanks to FireBug, I FOUND this error. I have serious doubts that otherwise I could have catch it. The "restricted URI" is "everything" - no matter whether I've put the destination to a root folder or SOMEwhere, this exception sustains.

Any AJAX guru(s) who feel they can help me out?

Thanks in advance.

Done. I've found a solution. One more evidence that AJAX is not a "system" but just an idiom.
And thanks for the tons of help!

hi, I'm having the same problem, can you plz explain how you fix it?', what the problem might be??, what's the solution??.

thx in advnace

What EXACTLY is your problem?

In MY case, it was something like "request.open("GET",url,true)" whereas url was (out of the sudden) considered "restricted".

Let me know.

i found out that:

this don't work!
request.open("GET", "http://www.thedomainname.com/resp.php?wohin=" + wohin, false);

this works:
request.open("GET", "http://thedomainname.com/resp.php?wohin=" + wohin, false);
(without "www")

i am having the same problem when page is onpen in HTTPS. but removing www does not work for me is there any other soloutin??

That is because cross-domain references are not allowed. You probably had accessed the site without the www, so it would have to be without the www in the AJAX request as well.

Are you attempting to access a different domain than the one you to which you are already connected? As already mentioned, AJAX does not allow cross-domain references.
