Problems with AICC/Web-based export
August 1, 2007 12:00 AM
If you are using the javascript title manager understand that it uses a function called XMLHttpRequest which mightbe caussing your issues. When the XMLHttpRequest object operates within a browser, it adopts the same-domain security policies of typical JavaScript activity (sharing the same "sandbox"). The domain of the URL request destination must be the same as the one that serves up the page containing the script. This means, unfortunately, that client-side scripts cannot fetch web service data from other sources, and blend that data into a page. Everything must come from the same domain. In other words, if your caourse is posted on a server in a seperate domain from your LMS - then it is a security violation. It might extend to subdomains also - I'm not sure...If you're using IE and you want to fix this issue you have to go to Tools>Internet Options>Security>Custom Level>Miscellaneous>Access data sources across domains>Change to Enable - this will stop the security related issues BUT UNDERSTAND it's not a good practice because you open yourself up to hacking. It might be OK on an intranet where there are firewalls that protect you from the general internet.Just a thought...Edited By: Lex_Tensions on 2007-8-15 7:33:5
