Parsing XML with RightJS in IE6/8

[Nevin]

I am trying to use RightJS in a new project. What I am trying to do
is:

1) Having a XHR request to the server
2) Retrieve a XML back
3) Parse the XML and update the page accordingly

The code works for Firefox and Safari but when I try to load it with
IE I got a:

--> Object doesn't support this property or method error

The code is simplified as follow:

1: Xhr.load('get_xml.php', {
2: onSuccess: function(r) {
3: var xml_obj = $(r.repsonseXML);
4: var children = xml_obj.find('my_node');
5: }
6: });

on line 3 IE gives an error. Is it related to RightJS unable to handle
Microsoft XML obj?

Is that the proper way to handle XML in RightJS?

Hi Nevin,

I doubt it will work like that in IE. RightJS is made to handle html-elements and there is no guarantee that it will work with any sort of XML as well.

To handle this, you might want to use pure DOM methods instead, like that

var xml = r.responseXML;
var smth = xml.getElementsByTagName('somthing')[0];
// etc.

or use JSON. no one really uses XML anymore
