jQuery Forum

Wondering if anyone has a solution for this?

Hi Benjamin,
I'm currently struggling with a similar error. Possibly the xml data
isn't transmitted as XML?
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: xmlFile,
dataType: 'xml',
success: function(){},
error: function(x, s, e){}
});
If I use JSON, things are working nicely. Any chance to change your
xmlfile to json format?

shouldn't have anything to do with the error. It's supposed to work
around the loading of scripts, but it doesn't seem to have any effect
when I use it with external scripts (such as jquery.js). So, to run it
gracefully from a CD in IE, I use http://www.phdcc.com/shellrun/

Hi Benjamin,
any progress on your xml loading problem in IE locally? I'll be
fiddling with it some more tonight, so I'll let you know anything I
find out.

Sadly we can't convert to json because the site is already built out and all the code is using xpath.  I am sure there is an easy way to convert the xml doc to json and then make the changes to the code, but I don't think I can get that cleared without putting on a song and dance.

Not yet, I think I am going to have to check to see if it is IE and use IE specific code.  I'll let you know what I come up with.

I think the problem is when loading from a local file the Content-Type
isn't set to "text/xml" so IE doesn't bother to parse it.
One possible work around is to load it as text in IE and then parse it
yourself like:
$.ajax({
url: "data.xml",
async: false,
dataType: ($.browser.msie) ? "text" : "xml",
success: function (data) {
var xml;
if (typeof data == 'string') {
xml = new
ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xml.async = false;
xml.loadXML(data);
} else {
xml = data;
}
alert($(xml).text());
}
});
Something to try at least. :)
