Loading XML across domains

[themoneyconverter]

Hello there,

I've been trying to implement some new functionality on my site but I can only get it to work correctly in IE. Firefox refuses to budge and I've wasted too much time on this already so any help would be appreciated.

I'm offering users the ability to display a one-line currency exchange rate on their site by simply adding a link to a javascript file to their web page. However, in order to fetch the exchange rate it has to go from the users domain to my own and Firefox doesn't want to play ball. At least i THINK that's where the problem lies after googling around for a while.

The functionality I'm after can be viewed here

and if anyone can show me how I can get it to work in Firefox I'd be extremely grateful.

You cant pull it in just with javascript, you need to get the xml via a server side script (eg asp) and then feed that to your javascript.
It is a security thing.

Look at

http://www.kirupa.com/web/load_xml.htm

or for asp

<%
Dim url : url = "YOUR URL" 
Dim xmlhttp : set xmlhttp = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") 
xmlhttp.Open "GET", url, False
xmlhttp.Send

response.write(xmlhttp.responseText) 

set xmlhttp = nothing
%>
