Access to restricted URI denied code: 1012

Question

How do you get around this Ajax cross site scripting problem on FireFox 3?

Answer 1

I came across this problem recently and it was while I as AJAX loading the local request, not cross site scripting problem. Also, Jimmy himself seems to have the same problem. This seems to be the FF security problem, this article describes the cause and the solution to access to restricted uri denied" code: "1012 problem.

Sorry, got that error using JQuery $.ajax on FireFox 3. Tried jsonp suggestion but I think that will only work with something that will serve up json. I'm trying to create a sample local html file based mashup that will pull data from Yahoo!Finance, but they are serving .csv, so I think I'm SOL. – Jimmy Chandra (Sep 9 at 17:20)
