Title Body

I have written an XMLHttpRequest which runs fine but returns an empty responseText. The javascript is as follows: var anUrl = "http://api.xxx.com/rates/csv/rates.txt"; var myRequest = new XMLHttpRequest(); callAjax(anUrl); function callAjax(url) { myRequest.open("GET", url, true); myRequest.onreadystatechange = responseAjax; myRequest.setRequestHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache"); myRequest.send(null); } function responseAjax() { if(myRequest.readyState == 4) { if(myRequest.status == 200) { result = myRequest.responseText; alert(result); alert("we made it"); } else { alert( " An error has occurred: " + myRequest.statusText); } } } The code runs fine. I can walk through and I get the readyState == 4 and a status == 200 but the responseText is always blank. I am getting a log error (in Safari debug) of Error dispatching: getProperties which I cannot seem to find reference to. I have run the code in Safari and Firefox both locally and on a remote server. The URL when put into a browser will return the string and give a status code of 200. I wrote similar code to the same URL in a Mac Widget which runs fine, but the same code in a browser never returns a result.
