problems on microsoft XMLDOM in Mozila

[Eitan]

Hello,
IE is fine,
but when I am using Mozila browser and do in javascript as follows :

var current_menu;
current_menu = new ActiveXObject(" Microsoft.XMLDO M");

....
It works only for Internet Explorer.
For Mozila/Netscape/Fire-Fox - it is an error.

What can I do instead ?

Thanks :)

It really depends on what you want to do, if you want to create a DOM
document in memory you can do it as follows in Mozilla (and in the
upcoming Opera 7.6x):

var xmlDocument;
if (document.imple mentation &&
document.implem entation.create Document &&
(xmlDocument = document.implem entation.create Document('', 'gods',
null))) {
var god = xmlDocument.cre ateElement('god ');
god.appendChild (xmlDocument.cr eateTextNode('K ibo'));
xmlDocument.doc umentElement.ap pendChild(god);
}

It should work with other browsers implementing the DOM Level 2 Core too.

If you want to load a document from a URL use XMLHttpRequest, example is
