这是因为firefox安全性强,不允许跨域调用。
Firefox 要取消XMLHttpRequest的跨域限制的话,
第一是从 about:config 里设置 signed.applets.codebase_principal_support = true; (地址栏输入about:config 即可进行firefox设置)
第二就是在open的代码函数前加入类似如下的代码:
try { netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalBrowserRead"); } catch (e) { alert("Permission UniversalBrowserRead denied."); }
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> // Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to call method XMLHttpRequest.open var http_request = false; function makeRequest(url, parameters) { try { netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalBrowserRead"); } catch (e) { alert("Permission UniversalBrowserRead denied."); } http_request = false; http_request = new XMLHttpRequest(); if (http_request.overrideMimeType) { http_request.overrideMimeType('text/xml'); } if (!http_request) { alert('Cannot create XMLHTTP instance'); return false; } http_request.onreadystatechange = alertContents; http_request.open('GET', url + parameters, true); http_request.send(null); } function alertContents() { if (http_request.readyState == 4) { if (http_request.status == 200) { var string = http_request.responseText; alert(string); } else { alert('There was a problem with the request.'); } } } function updateweather() { makeRequest('http://www.wunderground.com/auto/rss_full/global/stations/16239.xml', ''); } </script> <input type="button" name="button" value="GET XML" οnclick="javascript:updateweather();">
