Yes I have done that too. This is one of those because it's there
things. Also when I load the iframe via the src= the browser
interprets the xml (or at least Firefox does). To see the xml you have
to View|Page Source.
Also, the behavior of src=atom.xml and src=data:text/
xml;base64, (where is the base64 encoded atom.xml) is
different. The latter does show the xml not the html rendering of it.
I am just curious why? Why can't I load the xml via load or some
other ajax function into an iframe and replace the html all
together. Is an iframe inherently an html container?
If I do $(body, doc).load(atom.xml) the xml is loaded like this:
body
feed xmlns=http://purl.org/atom/ns#; version=0.3
/feed
and that is OK.
Inquiring minds want to know:)

Hi,
I'm confused as to why you are trying to load XML into an iframe using
AJAX.
Why not just set src=atom.xml and load the feed directly into the
iframe?

The problem is the iframe has html/html tags and if the xml has
items that look like head tags like title etc they end up in the
head. For example I have a atom file that looks like this:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
feed version=0.3 xmlns=http://purl.org/atom/ns#;

When I do this:
var iframe = $(#frame)[0];
var doc = iframe.contentDocument;
if(!doc) doc = iframe.contentWindow.document;
$(html, doc).load(atom.xml);
The html head tag gets the titles rather than the
feed version=0.3 xmlns=http://purl.org/atom/ns#; in the body?
Is there a way to make the iframe look like an xml document instead of
an html doc?
