Hello, I have no problem to request and parse the MapServer GetCapabilites.xml on IE7 with "MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0" or "MSXML2.DOMDocument.4.0". Perhaps because I have set xmlDoc.validateOnParse = false;, but I haven't it verified.

I've finally tracked it down to the doctype declaration: Mapserver produces <?xml version='1.0' encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no" ?> <!DOCTYPE WMT_MS_Capabilities SYSTEM "http://schemas.opengeospatial.net/wms/1.1.1/capabilities_1_1_1.dtd"; [ <!ELEMENT VendorSpecificCapabilities EMPTY> ]> <!-- end of DOCTYPE declaration --> The parser removes both the <?xml ..> tag and the <!DOCTYPE ..> tag from the XML before parsing. So normally the to-be-parsed XML text starts with: <!-- end of DOCTYPE declaration --> Which is a valid piece of XML However MSXML apparently thinks that the closing > after EMPTY belongs to the opening < before !DOCTYPE. So instead now the XML text starts with: ]> Which obviously isn't valid XML and MSXML fails. So my questions: -Anyone else noticed this problem? -Why is there an (empty!) ELEMENT declaration within the DOCTYPE? -How can I remove this ELEMENT? Regards, Steven
