I'm writing a packaged Chrome Web App and trying to parse external XML. It works when I download the XML file to my server, but does not work when I change the XML file to the location on the web.For example, I am trying to access this file: http://www.w3schools.com/xml/note.xmlHere is my JavaScript code (note that HTML ):\[code\]function dashboardContent() {html="";xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();xmlhttp.open("GET","http://www.w3schools.com/xml/note.xml",false);xmlhttp.send();xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML;html+=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("to")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;html+=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("from")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;html+=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;document.getElementById("contentArea").innerHTML=html;}\[/code\]In my Chrome Web App manifest.json file, I put the following under permissions per Google's manifest requirement for Cross-origin XMLHttpRequests:\[code\]{ "name": "BirdTrax", "version": "0.1.1", "description": "Birding explorer to help you plan birding trips and find recently eBirded sightings, rarities, and checklists in your area", "icons": { "16": "icons/helloWorld_16.png", "128": "icons/helloWorld_128.png" }, "app": { "launch": { "local_path": "main.html", "container": "tab" } }, "background_page": "background.html", "options_page": "options.html","permissions": [ "http://www.w3schools.com/*", "notifications", "unlimitedStorage"], "incognito": "split"}\[/code\]I'm not sure if I'm still missing something, but the code isn't working for me. Any suggestions, tips, ideas? I really appreciate any help!!
