Why is this by default not allowed? In IE it's under misc. security settings and the default is set to disabled.

Is there a way to get around this? If I have a VB script on a site that pulls information off of an XML file on a different domain the script won't work unless you change the security settings. This seems like a bulshit thing to have to have all your visitors do.

I realize I could do this server side with php but 1) I want to keep the load on the client side and 2) The server I'm hosting this on has an old version of PHP (no easyXML).

Anyway to get around this problem?

There are a million reasons I can think of why this is set to not allowed. Im amazed they even put in an option to allow it at all.

You can do with no problem with php. There are several libraries out there to do xml parsing.
