AJAX "Access is Denied" Error

[holaamigo]

I am attempted to make a firefox add-on that will send data to an external server (sort of like those stumbleupon and del.icio.us addons) with information about what page you're on. however, i want to do this with ajax rather than with forms. The info is populated with predefined variables and are populated with prompt / other info.

now, my problem is that since i'm trying to send the data to an external server, my ajax keeps returning an "access is denied" error. (i actually spent a really long time figuring that out - firefox didn't give any errors since it was an extension... i eventually had to make a new file of jus the ajax to test it in ie so i could see the exact error.)

i tried changing the chmod of the files on my server to 777 and i still got the access denied error. is there some way to get it to work?

or will i have to like open a new window with a page from my site and let them do their stuff there? (since thats what those social bookmarking sites seem to do... i think... but all of the windows look similar if not the same just a different header, so im not so sure).

thanks

Check the log files on your server, is it receiving request and sending deny reply ?
