IE error on Slick.search

[justind]

Hello,

I have some code to check if my xml results are an error:

var err = Slick.search(result, 'error');

IE 8 throws: "Object Required" on line 2048, char 2 (in mootools.1.3
http://mootools.net/core/7c56cfef9dddcf170a5d68e3fb61cfd7)

The error is here:

local.isXML = function(document){
return (!!document.xmlVersion) || (!!document.xml) ||
(Object.prototype.toString.call(document) === '[object XMLDocument]')
||
(document.nodeType === 9 && document.documentElement.nodeName !==
'HTML');
};

All of the boolean checks fail in that sequence until the last where
document.documentElement.nodename seems to be the offending bit.

the value of document.documentElement is null.
The IE debugger lists its type as IXMLDOMElement.
typeof returns object
Mootools typeOf() returns 'null'.

According to the IE debugger document is of the type IXMLDOMDocument2
and seems to be a perfectly well formed XML Document. The code is
working fine in FF and Chrome.

Any idea why I might be getting this error? Is it a slick bug, or
something I'm doing? The raw string that is returned along with the
XML document looks like this: https://gist.github.com/753229

Thanks,
Justin

Think I'd need to see more of a runnable example. I don't get an IE
error that early here:

You will eventually run into problems calling certain HTMLElement-only
methods if you don't namespace your XML for IE, but that's later than
the initial Slick.search().

Mootools typeOf is saying the response is null.... it could be a wrong content type on your xml response.

 

Can you tell us whats the content-type value?

It needs to be text/xml or something (don't remember exactly)

The response content type is text/xml.

If anyone cares to look, The page is here: http://yestertemp.com

You may be prompted by the browser for your location. If you're not in
the US, deny it and enter a zip code like 10003.

The slick query is called on line 214 of deletabrrrk.js.

The problem only occurs in IE (I'm using 8).

Thanks again.

I made a Slick.js issue for it and added my comments there.

I watch that much more closely than the ML.

Justin,

Please check my response to see if that solves your problem.

Looks like the problem is not on Slick.
