XML parsing, IE vs Mozilla

[dmjpro]

In Mozilla simply it calls the file URI using Ajax.
And in IE it calls the URI using something else.

Please have a look at this code ...

function loadXMLDoc(dname)
{
var xmlDoc;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {
  xmlDoc=new window.XMLHttpRequest();
  xmlDoc.open("GET",dname,false);
  xmlDoc.send("");
  return xmlDoc.responseXML;
  }
// IE 5 and IE 6
else if (ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM"))
  {
  xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
  xmlDoc.async=false;
  xmlDoc.load(dname);
  return xmlDoc;
  }
alert("Error loading document");
return null;
}

In IE can't it be called using Ajax?

I'm not sure but you're not doing an AJAX call with IE, do you?

Simply i copied the code from W3C (DOM parsing) and pasted here.
I just wanted to know is it possible to DO Ajax call in IE?

[Dormilich]

could you link to that page, where the example is?

[dmjpro]

I have a look at this ...
I could have also tested out .. this is my bad habit :P

[Dormilich]

what you have there is not supposed to be AJAX, but loading an XML file. the XMLHttpRequest object is used to open the file, except for IE.

btw, w3schools is not W3C

Why it is not supposed to be an Ajax call?

Opps!

[Dormilich]

Why it is not supposed to be an Ajax call?

because it's not (intended to be) asnycronous.

in this case for IE the XMLDOM ActiveX control is used, because it is sufficient for loading an XML file.

the AJAX tutorial is here.

Oh! Ajax can't be Synchronous? Then what Ajax means ? lolz!
Well in that sense you told it it's not Ajax.
So what IE provides here .. which one is first in IE?

[Dormilich]

Ajax can't be Synchronous?

it can be.

but just loading an XML file doesn't require asyncronous access, thus IE uses it's XML parser, which is not asyncronous.

which one is *first in IE?

Which one is *fast in IE as IE has two options?
Is there any DOM Parser in Mozilla as in IE?

if you want AJAX, then there is only one.

Is there any DOM Parser in Mozilla as in IE?

why? once you have the document tree loaded, you can use Javascript as you know it.
