Hello all, I have a seemingly insoluble problem related to client-side processing of XML/XSLT using MSXML4. Here's my problem: My J2EE server returns XML to the browser. The XML specifies in it's prolog to use a particular XSL stylesheet. The XSL stylesheet has javascript in it that is called when the HTML <BODY> onLoad() event fires. The javascript manipulates the XML document using basic XSLT, then writes to <DIV> layers in the HTML. Here's the javascript code: // Get the XML string from the Mimeviewer object var xmlString = window.document.XMLDocument; // Create an MSXML4 DOMDocument object var myXmlObject = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0"); myXmlObject.async = false; myXmlObject.load(xmlString); // Get the MSXML4 object for the XSL data var xslObject = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.4.0"); xslObject.async = false; xslObject.resolveExternals = false; xslObject.load(window.document.XSLDocument); // Get the root node of the XML doc and apply the XSL to it var myXmlNode = myXmlObject.documentElement; var myHtml = myXmlNode.transformNode(xslObject); The problem is that the IE Mimeviewer object (window.document.XMLDocument) has been rendered unreliable by a Microsoft hotfix released in July 2003. Namely, the "readyState" property is unreliable, it does not accurately reflect the readiness of the data. See below: Limitation of XML Mimeviewer Causes Unexpected Behavior When You Transform XML Data by Using Internet Explorer http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;823828 My question is --- How do I load my MSXML4 DOMDocument object without using the Mimeviewer object? Is there a way for me to access the XML loaded into the browser without referring to window.document.XMLDocument? Any help is greatly appreciated. ------------------------------- Franco Finstad Project Manager Tallan Consulting Office: 212-213-5199 x3417 Mobile: 917-453-5028
