jquery ajax ie11,jQuery ajax request - IE11 Access is denied

The question

I'm making an ajax request via jQuery using the following function:

function ajaxRequest(requestName,responseFunction,parameters) {

console.log('Making request ' + requestName);

var now = new Date();

$.ajax({

type: "GET",

url: "ajax.php",

error: function(jqXHR,textStatus,errorThrown ) {

console.log('Error: ' + textStatus + ' ' + errorThrown);

},

success:function(msg) {

console.log('Success! ' + msg);

}

});

}

What possible reasons for an 'Access is denied' error are there here? Is there anything I can do to get a more meaningful error message?

More information...

I'm currently calling this function to save a value in an input field. This works in all tested browsers.

I also call this function from an onpaste event (i.e. ), to do the same job, and this is what is failing, but only in IE11. The error is just "Access is denied.".

Note that this is not a cross domain request, it is requesting a file in the same directory.

Tested in:

Mac + Safari

Mac + Chrome

WinXP + IE8

Win7 + IE9

Win 8 + IE10

in 8.1 + IE11 (the only one that causes the problem.)

Note that I've stripped out some irrelevant parts of the code, such as using the responseFunction and parameters variable.
