I have pretty much followed your article and converted the code presented to use ASP code and it works well. I do have one annoying issue.


When the name is typed and the onblur event is fired, a popup dialog on IE that warns the user with this message: 'This page is accessing information that is not under its control. This poses a security risk. Do you want to continue?'


Is there some way to block this message or does all browsers have this sort of thing built in?


The other question is, what about passing passwords - NON-SECURELY - using this code? I assume that this is easily handled via https:// connection, bypassing the need to do client-side encryption.


Other than that -- server-side processing is done without a round-trip page refresh and there is no noticeable client-side renderering and the response appears quickly, which is impressive.

    This is a warning about cross-site scripting. Microsoft answers this same question in this Q&A (http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/06/web/). The best solution is to have your web page and the XMLHTTPRequest URL in the same domain.

      Regarding this error "This page is accessing information that is not under its control"


      How is it that Google with the Google maps api can provide javascript libraries to work with their web services and without the same pop-up message?
