jin_pengyou Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 Oh, forgot to ask since I was on a rush. Can you guys help me understand what the problem could be? Is it IE who don't read XML correctly? My XML isn't build as it should? Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I was testing in Internet Explorer. Apparently window.XMLHttpRequest exists in Internet Explorer but Internet Explorer doesn't have permission to use it.Substitute your if() statements for try/catch try { xmlDoc=new XMLHttpRequest(); xmlDoc.open("GET","articles/article1.xml",false); xmlDoc.send(""); xmlDoc=xmlDoc.responseXML; } catch (e) { try { xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM"); xmlDoc.async=false; xmlDoc.load("articles/article1.xml"); } catch(e) { alert("It doesn't work"); } } var x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("article"); By the way, the language attribute of the <script> element is deprecated. Remove it from your <script> tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove it from your <script> tags. Thank you very much. Working perfectly! Never used Try and Catch before. Also thank you for the tip on the attribute.

dsonesuk Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 replace (ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")) with (window.ActiveXObject)and problem solved, i'm on a roll today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 replace (ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")) with (window.ActiveXObject)and problem solved, i'm on a roll today!If you tried his initial code you might have noticed that Internet Explorer was returning true when testing window.XMLHttpRequest. This means that it would still not work if you had only applied the change you just suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsonesuk Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 and yet! when i DID try it out in all browsers, IT WORKED! wait minute test it again, hold on, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, bummer! yep it still works.must admit i have not tested it IE8, (refuse to download, give MS time to get all the bugs out, which might be why its not working, typical MS FU) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synook Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 IE8 is RTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsonesuk Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 seems IE8 uses XDomainRequest() instead, see http://www.javascriptkit.com/jsref/ajax.shtml, with examples on setting this up for different IE browser versions, as well as deifferent browsers.

justsomeguy Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 must admit i have not tested it IE8, (refuse to downloadIE8, even in its current state, is far superior to any other version of IE. It will also emulate IE7. IE7 in its current state is not a better browser than IE8 in its current state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsonesuk Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 well i downloaded multipleie with IE8, and guess what! it worked in that as well. for something thats not supposed to work, it certainly does fine impression of something that does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jin_pengyou Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 is XML and JavaScript are considered to be "clean" or "recommended" by W3C at all? For content display? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Javascript is the only browser scripting language recommended by the W3C, XML is definitely a W3C recommendation, but not necessarily needed in web pages. XML is mainly used for other technologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
