    <p>I want to make a small website that uses xml data from another domain. (Weather data from Weather Underground: www.wunderground.com). I am using just html and javascript, and writing it all in Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web.</p> <p>I make and send the xml request as follows:</p> <pre><code>url = "http://api.wunderground.com/api/3c6e3d838e217361/geolookup/conditions/forecast/q/51.11999893,-114.01999664.xml"; xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); xmlhttp.open("GET", url, false); xmlhttp.send(); xmlDoc = xmlhttp.responseXML; </code></pre> <p>The problem is that I get the following error in the Google Chrome (version 29.0.1547.66) developer console:</p> <pre><code>XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://api.wunderground.com/api/3c6e3d838e217361/geolookup/conditions/forecast/q/51.11999893,-114.01999664.xml. Origin http://localhost:49933 is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin. </code></pre> <p>Or this on Internet Explorer (version 10.0.8) console:</p> <pre><code>SEC7118: XMLHttpRequest for http://api.wunderground.com/api/3c6e3d838e217361/geolookup/conditions/forecast/q/51.11999893,-114.01999664.xml required Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS). </code></pre> <p>As I understand it, CORS (<a href="http://enable-cors.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://enable-cors.org/</a>) needs effort by both the client and the server to work. I want to assume that the Weather Underground API knows what it is doing and has enabled things appropriately, such as setting the response header to include 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *', and I know that I get the same problems when I try the same code using another API provider (World Weather Online). So I think this is something I should be able to fix in my client code. Another SO answer where the suggestion is to fix the server-side header: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14728418/cors-with-xmlhttprequest">CORS with XMLHttpRequest</a></p> <p>I have tried to find answers, but don't understand articles such as: <a href="http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/dom-access-control-using-cross-origin-resource-sharing/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/dom-access-control-using-cross-origin-resource-sharing/</a> <a href="http://saltybeagle.com/2009/09/cross-origin-resource-sharing-demo/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://saltybeagle.com/2009/09/cross-origin-resource-sharing-demo/</a></p>

    2. COI directly open your url in Chrome and developer tools tell me that no `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header is returned.

    3. CORule 1 of development: don't assume other people have done things to make your life easier. Look at their API docs. JSON, XML and JSONP - with examples. No mention of CORS. Use JSONP.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
