when trying to get XML content from one site.

Answer 1

Another modern method of solving this problem is Cross Origin Ressource Sharing. HTML5 offers this feature. You can "wrap" your XMLhttp request in this CORS_request and if the target browser supports this feature, you can use it and wont have no problems.

EDIT: Additionaly i have to add that there are many reasons which can cause this Issue. Not only a Cross Domain Restriction but also simply wrong Settings in your WEB.CONFIG of your Webservice.

Example IIS(.NET):

To enable HTTP access from external sources ( in my case a compiled Phonegap app with CORS request ) you have to add this to your WEB.CONFIG

Another scenario:

I got two webservices running... One on Port 80 and one on Port 90. This also gave me an XML HTTP Request Error. I even dont know why :). Nevertheless i think this can help many not well experienced readers.
