Make a Cross-Domain request for XML from a local file
I am not sure if this is even possible. Basically I want to load a local html file on a client PC and have it make a request to a remote server. The data served up by the server is XML. When I say I am loading a file, I mean the URL in chrome appears as "file:///E:/..." This is the closest I have gotten to being able to load the XML. I inspected the network tab on the client end and its successfully loading, I just cant seem to get the XML into an element I can inspect: var script = document.createElement('script'); script.setAttribute('src', 'http://xxx.xx.xx.xxx:xxxx/myxmldata'); script
