change:www.microsoft.com to microsoft.com, not to linux.com.

Thanks for the response Joe. 

I have a pretty good understanding of the restrictions. Maybe I should be 
a bit more specific about the problem. The scenario is this... 

I have a JSP with doc domain set to document.domain="xxxx.com". There is 
also a clickable pop-up calendar on the JSP page with a doc domain set to 
document.domain="xxxx.com". There are several JavaScript functions that 
reside in src="/std/utils.js" (as shown in the original code context). The 
code executed when the calendar link is clicked looks like this: <a 
href="#" onMouseDown="getPosition(event, 'ibeMain', 0)" 
onMouseUp="openCalendar('standardCalendar','0')">Calendar</a></font>. The 
openCalendar() function is in the /std/utils.js file. 

The "Access is denied" message appears when the calendar link is clicked. 
Actually, it works fine in Netscape but causes an access error in IE. If 
document.domain is removed it works OK in any browser.
