Hey I just had to pass this along.  As you know I have had problems with
client-side XML parsing with users who had an old version of msxml.dll
registered.

Well, another user just had problems where their entire browser (IE)
crashed hard when they hit the page.  Turns out they had msxml5 which
appears to be the red-headed step child of Microsoft XML parsers.  My
solution was to change this line:

var doc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");

to this line:

var doc = new ActiveXObject('Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0'); //uses MSXML 3.0

 

This forces the version of the XML parser the client uses.  Very
interesting indeed and it worked.  Thought you all might need it some
day.

Please share any insight with me if you have it.  :-)
