Am working on a javascript/xml project that should run off a cd-rom.
With firefox "CdRomDrive:\index.html" runs fine and loads all the data from the xml file in the browser. Using Internet explorer 6, "CdRomDrive:\index.html" doesn't load the data to the browser.

However, "http://localhost/myProject/index.html" works fine with both browsers but this is not helpful since it is going to be run off the cdrom.

javascript code:

if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
this.req=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else if (window.ActiveXObject)
{
this.req=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

}
if (this.req){
try{
var loader=this;

this.req.onreadystatechange=function(){
loader.onReadyState.call(loader);
}
//The problem begins here
this.req.open(method,url,true); //alert(url);

this.req.send(params);/*debugging shows params object empty*/

}catch (err){
this.onerror.call(this);
}
}
-Thanks
