XML Object typedef error

[stormbind]

Hi all,

Please see the snippet below.

The exception is being thrown. The XML string is dead simple like <xml><tagName value="://?&"></xml>. I use VIM and I can clearly see there is not a typo in variable names. Can you please explain why I am getting the Typedef error?

It is for an Opera Extension for personal use, but I doubt the Typedef error is caused by the browser.

 var accessing = xml.getElementsByTagName('tagName'); 
    if(accessing) // its definitely valid XML
    {
        try
	{
	   var accessObject = accessing[0];
	   alert(accessObject.getAttribute('value'));  // displays the expected "://?&" string
	   var value = accessObject.getAttribute('value'); [COLOR=#5C3566]// what could possibly go wrong?[/color]
        }
        catch(e)
        {
           alert(e.toString()); [COLOR=#5C3566]// Typedef Error: cannot convert accessObject to Object[/color]
        }
    }

Ah!! It was caused by multiple documents being parsed at the same time, so was actually different XML.

No matter
