Remarks
open was introduced in Internet Explorer 7. The following HTTP verbs and World Wide Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) methods '700')this.width='700';if(this.height>'700')this.height='700';" border=0> Security Alert Cross-domain, cross-port, and mixed protocol requests are not allowed. The sUrl parameter may only specify XML data files in the same domain, using the same port and protocol method, as that from which the page is served. Although this method accepts credentials passed via parameter, those credentials are not automatically sent to the server on the first request. The sUser and sPassword parameters are not transmitted unless the server challenges the client for credentials with a 401 - Access Denied response. After calling this method, use send to send the request and data, if any, to the server.
