When I request a webpage using YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest in Safari I always get Communication Failure message in callback's failure properties statusText. The same method works in IE. What could be wrong here? Here is the code. When the code is executed I always get two alerts: "Three" and "communications failure undefined" (corresponding to the second alert in the failure part below.) Also when I attach the debugger and put break point in the SAProvision.aspx's page load event, the break point is not hit. So it is sure that in safari the page is not being called. While the same is called when executed from IE. function ProvisionBlade() { var path = "http://localhost/SC/Dashboard/SAProvision.aspx" YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest("POST", path, callbacks1, null); } var callbacks1 = { success: function(o) { var check = "test"; alert(o.responseText); }, failure: function(o) { alert("Three"); alert(o.statusText + ' ' + o.responseText); } }
