.ajax won't work in IE

IE9 jQuery AJAX with CORS returns “Access is denied”

Have a bit of a problem with my .ajax call to an remote xml file. Works fine in Safari not IE 9. It might be possible this is a cross domain issue on IE or perhaps my XML parsing is bad.

/* Last FM Scrobbler - get album XML details */
refreshArtwork('Snow Patrol', 'chasing cars');
function refreshArtwork(artist, track) {    
    $.ajax({
  type: 'POST',
  url: 'http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/',
  data: {
        method: 'track.getInfo',
        api_key: 'c88cc53549*******46f056dc05a745',
        artist: artist,
        track: track,
        //format: 'json'
        },
  dataType: 'xml', //set to json if above
  success: getLastfm
});
}

/* parse album XML from LastFM scrobbler */
function getLastfm(xml) {

lstAlbum = $(xml).find('title').text();
lstAlbumart = $(xml).find('image[size="large"]').text();
lstWiki = $(xml).find('summary').text();
lstURL = $(xml).find('url').eq(0).text();

alert(lstAlbumart);
$(".current").html('<div class="playing"><div class="title">' + '<img src="' + lstAlbumart + '" width="250" height="250" /></div></div>');

  }// end of getLastfm() function


//***** remote xml here for reference ******//

Yeah, either a crossdomain or issue with the namespace in your selectors. I have had problems with xml selectors in the past. — John Kalberer, Jan 05 '13 at 00:27
Trying to fix the .ajax call and xml traversal so it works in IE. Thanks for the suggestions. — hillcreative, Jan 05 '13 at 00:34
can't retrieve xml cross domain with AJAX. Do some web searching... there are hundreds of posts about this on SO and other web resources http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy — charlietfl, Jan 05 '13 at 00:36
lots of suggestions and plugins but none that work... so far — hillcreative, Jan 05 '13 at 01:41

check your XML response and make sure the XML is valid. Also don't do cross domain requests if you are using XML. If doing cross domain requests use dataType: 'JSONP'

The XML is correct and well formed. I'm ready to take a shot with json but I am a total beginner with it. – hillcreative Jan 05 '13 at 00:31
