In Safari, and I believe also in Firefox and Internet Explorer, if the URI parameter is a relative URI reference, it is resolved against the window.location.href of the Window object currently executing script, which may or may not be the same as the one used to create the XMLHttpRequest object. I can make a test case to check this. Regards, Maciej
