LoadData in IE

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to load XML dataset by dynamically setting the
Spry's setURL and using the Spry's loadData() . This is all being
triggered by an onclick event to a defined function.
The code:
function getPhotos(year){
alert(year);
dsl.setURL("includes/get_photos.php?year="+year);
dsl.loadData();
works perfect in FF
but doesnt seem to load nor throw any errors out in IE...
i'm currently working locally. What seems to be preventing IE
from loading and displaying the data?

Hi Kendall,
What version of IE are you using? If you open up SpryData.js,
what version are you using? 1.4?
If you are using IE 7, it doesn't allow loading of file://
URLs via the XMLHttpRequest object. We've worked around that in
Spry Pre-Release 1.5 by forcing IE to use the ActiveX version of
the XMLHttpRequest object that IE6 used.
Another thing to check is to make sure you don't have
extraneous whitespace at the start of the XML file, before the XML
directive.
