Ajax: responseXML in Internet Explorer fails

admin

I'm requesting a xml file in javascript from a xmlhttprequest object:
requester.responseXML

It runs ok in firefox, but in IE it returns null. (requester.resonseText run ok).

Searching in google I found this solution:

1. /Just to check if it is a different navigator from internet explorer
   
2. if (document.implementation && document.implementation.createDocument){
   
3. xmlDoc = requester.responseXML;
   
4. //In case to be the internet explorer
   
5. } else if (window.ActiveXObject){
   
6. //Create a xml tag in run time
   
7. var testandoAppend = document.createElement('xml');
   
8. //Put the requester.responseText in the innerHTML of the xml tag
   
9. testandoAppend.setAttribute('innerHTML',requester.responseText);
   
10. //Set the xml tag's id to _formjAjaxRetornoXML
    
11. testandoAppend.setAttribute('id','_formjAjaxRetornoXML');
    
12. //Add the created tag to the page context
    
13. document.body.appendChild(testandoAppend);
    
14. //Just for check put the xmlhttp.responseXML in the innerHTML of the tag
    
15. document.getElementById('_formjAjaxRetornoXML').innerHTML = requester.responseText;
    
16. //Now we can get the xml tag and put it on a var
    
17. xmlDoc = document.getElementById('_formjAjaxRetornoXML');
    
18. //So we have a valid xml we can remove the xml tag document.body.removeChild(document.getElementById('_formjAjaxRetornoXML'));\n" +
    
19. }
    
20. else{
    
21. //If the browser doesnt support xml
    
22. alert('Your browser can\\'t handle this script');
    
23. }

if you are running via file:// protocol, it could be as easy as:

1. var result = xmlhttp.responseXML;
   
2. if (!result.documentElement && xmlhttp.responseStream) {
   
3. result.load(xmlhttp.responseStream);
   
4. }
   
5. 
   
6. // work with your result XMLDocument
