Displaying XML Data in HTML File

[omarchao]

I am trying to use an XML file for displaying data in HTML file. Strangely, the code works fine with Firefox and Safari, but doesn't display anything for Internet Explorer or Chrome.

Here is the code:

if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
}

else
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}

xmlhttp.open("get", "news.xml", false);
xmlhttp.send();
xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML;

var x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("POST");

for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
document.write("<p class =" + "text-style-paragraph-5" + ">");
document.write("<a href = " + x.getElementsByTagName("URL")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + ">");
document.write("- ");
document.write(x.getElementsByTagName("TITLE")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
document.write("</a></p>");
document.write("<p class =" + "text-style-paragraph-6" + ">");
document.write(x.getElementsByTagName("DATE")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
document.write("</p>");
}

</script>

To simplify the matter, you've to serve the page through a webserver. Is that your environment the application is used?!
