add the basic authorization, mypostrequest.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic <>");

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function ajaxRequest(){
var activexmodes=["Msxml2.XMLHTTP", "Microsoft.XMLHTTP"]; //activeX versions to check for in IE
if (window.ActiveXObject){ //Test for support for ActiveXObject in IE first (as XMLHttpRequest in IE7 is broken)
for (var i=0; i<activexmodes.length; i++){
try{
return new ActiveXObject(activexmodes[i]);
}
catch(e){
//suppress error
}
}
}
else if (window.XMLHttpRequest) // if Mozilla, Safari etc
return new XMLHttpRequest();
else
return false;
}
function schedule_job(){
var mypostrequest=new ajaxRequest();
