use responseText instead?

Greg,

 

OK, there's objects in objects.  Nice...

 

For debugging purposes, what's the simplest way to convert the entire returned object to a string for inspection?

Well, I'm sure xPath is a lot more flexible, but holy crap is that a lot of code.  As I said, mine is limited, but serves my purposes very well.  And it's generic enough for anyone to use, although it only handles node types 1 to 3.  Anything beyond that will be ignored (or possibly break it, I haven't tested it thoroughly against other node types).

Thanks (a lot! ).  I've had to rule out including a 100Kb xPath.js library.  Maybe this lib is a better solution.

 

I diagnosed the problem with IE responseXML - if the file isn't served "up" as text/xml, IE doesn't make responseXML available.  (I was testing on my local hard-disk / no server).  Posting to a server solves this problem.  I can (will) live with that.
