Remote file access

I have a website that uses javascript to pull html from a remote file and embed it in the main page. This works perfectly on my localhost and test server but does not work on the plusnet webspace.
I think this is because the script is being blocked from accessing other files on the server.
Is there anything I can do to correct this?
Thanks

Most likely it's being blocked, although as it's javascript it would be down to your web browser to do this. I know firefox blocks this sort of thing by default, if you're using that then check the error log (Tools->Error Console) - there should be a message in there.
It's sensible for the browser to do this, allowing javascript to load content from other domains is a gateway to security problems.
