[jQuery] ajax newsticker does not work in IE. Any clue?
Hi list,
today at work i had to build a news ticker based on XML (Ajax).
I'm "sponsoring" jquery so much that they told me: ok let's see what
jquery can do.
And voilà, i ended up with this "experiment":
http://www.gcmingati.net/wordpress/wp-content/lab/jquery/newsticker/
The problem is that this fails totally at reading the XML file in IE
both 6 and 7 while it works like a charm in FF and Opera.
Unfortunately this ticker will run inside an intranet app, under IE!
So you understand it is vital that it works in IE.
If you experts (i'm a total newbie i just bought the book "learning
jquery") may have a look at the code and please explain why it does
not work i'll reach two goals:
1) let jquery become THE js framework for most apps in one of the
biggest banking group in italy, 2) "save me" from a bad figure ;-)
Also i bought the book from backtbublishing, you know, "learnig
jquery" and on the book they say that to 'load' an XML file it is
sufficent to say $.get("thenameofmyxmlfile.xml" etcetera...) but that
NOT work at all.
I used such syntax found over here on the list:
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "tickerdata.xml",
dataType: "xml",
success: function(xmlData)
{
xmlDataSet = xmlData;
browseXML();
}
});
that works, but it's TOTALLY different from what the book says.
So what is the method to load a static (for now) XML file with jquery?
I'll appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
