I have installed a babynames script on a subdomain of my site, but when I try to select a letter or type a letter in the search box it just won't give me results. Firebug reports an error:
uncaught exception: Permission denied to call method XMLHttpRequest.open

I searched in Google and on this forum, but nothing that can help me out so far.
I've asked for help from the developer, but he can't me help out apparently and also send a support ticket to my host, but nothing so far.

Anyone know what's going on?

The url is: http://www.babynames.womansindex.com/

You're making a cross-domain request, which isn't allowed. Just move the database and associated PHP onto the same domain as your site, then change the URL in the script and you're done.

Thanks Logic Ali. I will give that a try and let you know how it works out.

Thanks logic ali. It worked! +rep

You need to use techniques like JSONP - script embed to make a cross domain javascript request for data.

you might want to look at $.getScript() in jquery - it is very handy - and cross domain capable...
