dojo fails to load when document.domain is set

[rich dot manalang at gmail dot com]

I'm trying to use the dojo widget package on a site that sets the document.domain property. Because of this, I get these these errors:

DEBUG: failed loading /dojo/src/widget/Dialog.js with error: Permission denied to call method XMLHttpRequest.open DEBUG: failed loading /dojo/src/widget.js with error: Permission denied to call method XMLHttpRequest.open DEBUG: failed loading /dojo/src/package.js with error: Permission denied to call method XMLHttpRequest.open DEBUG: failed loading /dojo/src.js with error: Permission denied to call method XMLHttpRequest.open DEBUG: failed loading /dojo/package.js with error: Permission denied to call method XMLHttpRequest.open

Any ideas for work arounds?

You need to make sure document.domain is also set in iframe_history.html, or disable the back button fix, i.e.:

{{{djConfig = {

preventBackButtonFix: true,

};}}}

sigh... remove the triple brackets before and after... some

djConfig = {

    preventBackButtonFix: true, };

That fixed it for IE, but not for firefox. It looks like this is a bug in firefox (​http://www.mozdev.org/pipermail/greasemonkey/2005-July/004343.html). Looks like Dojo should revert to using iFrames instead of XMLHttpRequest when document.domain is set.

What do you think?

It looks like the bug in question (marked as a dup, so it's really ​this bug) has been fixed. I assume that it'll be in Firefox 1.5 so we won't be fixing it. That said, the iframe transport is in the works, so there will be an alternative on the way at some point.
