Dear all,

Please help me. The live samples are working when i view it in the browser, but when i copy the code into notepad and run it as a local copy in the browser. The code is not working, nothing is being displayed.

Can you please help me???

I'm not talking about it either.

Here there is a thread about this issue

My apologies, guess I've just got lucky so far - haven't had a problem with a sample before.

Having tried the Hover sample referenced in that other thread it has a problem in FF but not in IE, different implementation of cross-domain security...there's a surprise *rolls eyes* (ah, I see, again, IE not really into CORS yet!)

edit: just noticed all the 'quick' (i.e. filesystem-hosted) samples I've got lying around are pre 3.0...that explains it!

edit2: ah, I see, because serving the page from the filesystem produces a value of null for the HTTP request header "Origin" this cannot be used to authorise for CORS purposes.
