I'm trying to download an XML document into a Netscape browser (6 or higher) but I am having trouble getting at the data.

The code I am using is similar to this...

function loadDoc(caller, url)
{
xDoc = document.implementation.createDocument("", "", null);
xDoc.onload = function() { caller.onload(xDoc, url); }
xDoc.onerror = caller.onerror;
xDoc.load(url);
}

function caller_onload(xDoc, url)
{
var nodes = xDoc.getElementsByTagName("nodes");
}

trouble is, nodes is coming back empty. If I look at xDoc itself, it's an empty document.

I have tried setting "Content-type:" to "text/xml" at the server but this seems to have no effect

can anyone help?
 
Ha!

found my problem. In my ASP code I was going Response.SetHeader("Content-type","text/xml") instead of Response.ContentType = "text/xml"

now my tree works like a charm!
