problem in AJAX using in FIREFOX

"[Object HTML Collection] " appears in firefox using AJAX

[zangs]

Hello ALll,

I got one object [object HTL collection], when i try to fetch the xmo node data from javascript.

Below is code for object which i have created,

//Firefox
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.overrideMimeType("application/xml");
xmlhttp.open("get",url,true);
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=handleHttpResponse;
xmlhttp.send(null);
}
// code for IE
else if (window.ActiveXObject)
{
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
if (xmlhttp)
{
xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true)
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=handleHttpResponse;
xmlhttp.send();
}
}

I got successfully xml data by "xmlhttp.responseText"

But when i try to fetch data by
xmlhttp.responseXML.getElementsByTagName("id"), it returns [Object HTML collection] and when i use xmlhttp.responseXML.getElementsByTagName("id").length, it returns "null".

Anyone here can help me?

Thnx in advance

what does your xml look like? Can you paste one record (if it's not too long)?

According to your sample XML,
xmlhttp.responseXML.getElementsByTagName("id")
will return an empty object because there are no <id> tags...

The closest thing I saw was: iuserid
so you would use: xmlhttp.responseXML.getElementsByTagName("iuserid") to get all iuserid tags...

Am I missing something else?

But when i try to fetch data by
xmlhttp.responseXML.getElementsByTagName("id"), it returns [Object HTML collection] and when i use xmlhttp.responseXML.getElementsByTagName("id").length, it returns "null".

There is no tag anywhere in your xml sample named 'id'.
