XmlHttpRequest & responseXml

[Marco Laponder]

Hi All,

I am using XmlHttpRequest object within Firefox to get a xml document
from the servlet. The reponseText is set but the responseXml is null.

My Code is:
req = new XMLHttpRequest( );
req.open('GET', './transform?resou rce=xul', false);
req.send(null);

When I print rq.getAllHeader s it says:

Content-type: application/xml

I can create a DOM object by:
var parser = new DOMParser();
var dom = parser.parseFro mString(req.res ponseText, "text/xml");

Anyone got any ideas what can be the problem ? the parseFromString is
very slow for large documents so this is not a good option for me

Kind regards,

A bit odd indeed, do you have a public URL where that occurs?
But you write responseXml while the property is named responseXML, so
maybe you have got the property name wrong?

Make sure you're looking for responseXML, not responseXml.

Try sending "text/xml" instead.
