Stylesheets from external hosts not being processed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Include a stylesheet from an external domain (include www.abc.com/a.css 
inside of www.def.com/b.html)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: The styles from that css should be applied to the page, and 
ie7.js should fix bugs in the css.
Actual: although the css class is included and applied, it is as if ie7.js 
were not on the page, ie7.js is not correcting any of the bugs in the css.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest

Please provide any additional information below.
When ie7.js attempts to download the file with the xml http request, it 
throws an error stating 'Permission Denied' because the executor cannot 
cross hosts, so the css is never processed through ie7.js

How about sub domains, like having the CSS for www.abc.com on def.abc.com?

IE7.js cannot work across domains. It can work across sub-domains if you set 
document.domain property:
