Answer 1

+1 A:

try to wrap parseRefreshTime with $()

    $("created", $(parseRefreshTime)).each(function() {
      alert('This line is *not* executed in IE.');  
      refreshTime = $(this).text();
      //do stuff with refreshtime
    });

or try to use $(parseRefreshTime).find('created')

    $(parseRefreshTime).find("created").each(function() {
      alert('This line is *not* executed in IE.');  
      refreshTime = $(this).text();
      //do stuff with refreshtime
    });

updated: also, try you specify the type to xml.

$.get("file.xml", {}, <callback>, "xml")

No joy with either solution in IE6. :(

have you try to specify the type : "xml" ?

Still no luck. Your suggestions work fine in FF, but I still can't get the value to parse successfully in IE.

+1 A:

Make sure that 'text/xml' is used as the content-type for the xml file.

Answer 3

+3 A:

A few things:

Specify the response type as xml for your AJAX request
Wrap the returning XML object in $(doc) and use find to query the XML
I think you have a few typos in your first line: reader should be ready and you have an extra closing parentheses

This is working for me on IE6. If this doesn't work for you, you may want to look into whether you are serving up your xml properly.

index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"&gt;
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
  <title>Test</title>

  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; 
  <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
    $(document).ready(function() {
      $.get("test.xml", null, function(doc) {
        $(doc).find('created').each(function() {
          alert($(this).text());
        })
      }, 'xml');
    });
  </script>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

test.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<created>2010-01-07 00:00:00</created>

Answer 4

A:

I am using something like this:

    if ($.browser.msie){
        var tempXML = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
        tempXML.async = false;
        tempXML.loadXML(data);
        xmlc = tempXML;
        items = $($(xmlc)[0]);
    } else if(window.DOMParser){
        items = $(new DOMParser().parseFromString(data, "text/xml").childNodes[0]);
    } else {
        xmlc = data;
        items = $($(xmlc)[1]);
    }

Basically, try the Microsoft.XMLDOM way for IE. can you provide sample xml?

Answer 5

A:

One of the biggest cave-eats with XML and IE6 is character encoding. Make sure your browser can interpret the file correctly. It could very well be your webserver is serving the page with a different encoding header in comparison to the document itself.
