I take your word for it and I confirm that Opera does it. So I get this: addDoc(evt,document.importNode (xmlRequest.responseXML.documentElement,true)); and it works both local and remote (FF 2 and 3, Opera 9.2 and Safari) simply with if (xmlRequest.status == 200) disabled. Here the very last visible difference between the two routines is the event passing, and, by Jove, it just comes to my mind!... something I read a while back on an Ajax developers list that explained why passing the event was necessary. But that's all I can recall and I didn't take note, I just applied the mod. > your loop through the imported XML isn't needed because you don't > necessarily need an <svg>-element, you can also import fragments (they > just need to be consistent, closed elements and so on) The loop is necessary for ASV because if the file has comments before the <svg> ASV returns "object Comment" for node (retested so to avoid red herrings. BTW, perhaps at this point red herrings should be classified as a known, existing and consumable species. Given the great number we catch we could be in business:)) and doesn't import. But I agree the condition should be extended to accept any valid fragment, or better, modified to just ignore the comments. I guess I'll keep it for the time being.
