i have always struggles getting xml in javascript to work consistently
across browsers. i usually have stuck to traversing a little more
manually than using the getelementsbytagname method:
<response>
<methodcall>update</methodcall>
<result>
<status></status>
<message></message>
</result>
</response>
var fields = e.responseXML.documentElement.childNodes;
var method = fields[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
var result = fields[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
var status = result.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
var message = result.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
// or a for loop:
for (var i = 0, total = fields.length; i < total; i++) {
var field = fields[i];
if (field.nodeName == 'result') {
var fieldNodes = field.childNodes;
var status = fieldNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
var message = fieldNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
}
