How to avoid cross scripting errors in IE8?

[ediguy]

HI all,

I really don't like IE8!

Here's the problem. I have a help site that runs on a different server than my main site. In every browser EXECPT IE, the help chat link works without any type of error or security warning.

However, in IE8, I get a popup box that says "This page is accessing information that is not under it's control...".

In IE7 I get an error box in the lower left hand corner that says "Access is denied".

I don't see either in Firefox, Chrome or Safari.

Here's the code that is causing the problem:

                        <!--- add the live support chat button  -->
                        <script src='http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/.../Support-Image-Button.js.aspx'></script><br />
                        <!--- add the live support visitor monitor tag  -->
                        <script src='http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/.../Support-Visitor-monitor.js.aspx'></script>

What do I need to do to get IE to shut up about this? Or is it even possible?

Hello,

My first guess would be to add both servers into either the Trusted Sites or the Intranet Sites section of Internet Explorer. However, this would need to be done on every machine that was accessing the site, which would be a bit of a pain.

Give it a try though and see how you get on.
