Parsing Ajax XML reply not working on IE 6

Parsing Ajax XML reply not working on IE 6

Hi everybody,

I have the following simple ajax call in a .ready() function :
$.post("mypage.php", {refresh : "no"}, function(data) {
        alert(data);
        alert ($("status", data).text());
        updatePage(data);
});

When triggered on FF I get:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<response><status>success</status></response>
in the first alert and "success" in the second one.

When triggered on IE6 I get the same in the first alert, but the second alert is empty.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Marius
