XML problem in Firefox 2.0 Advice Please

[wellmoon]

Hi,

I have a very basic xml file that has some customer names in it, like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="yes"?>
<!DOCTYPE customers [
  <!ELEMENT customers (customer+)>
  <!ELEMENT customer (name)>
  <!ELEMENT name (#PCDATA)>
]>
<customers>
  <customer>
    <name>Jon Doe</name>
  </customer>
  <customer>
    <name>Jane Doe</name>
  </customer>
</customers>

And I have a basic script file that opens the xml doc and gets the customer names:

function getxmldoc() {
  if (window.ActiveXObject) {
    doc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
    doc.async = false;
    doc.load("customers.xml");
    getnames();
  } else {
    doc = document.implementation.createDocument("","",null);
    doc.load("customers.xml");
    doc.onload = getnames;
  }
}
function getnames() {
  var names = doc.getElementsByTagName("name");
  alert(names.length);
  document.close();
}

The code works beautifully in IE7 and alerts '2' but Firefox (v2.0) alerts '0'

Why is this happening?

My ff(v1.0) shows up 2 just fine, so I cannot reproduce the problem.

wierd, my FF version 1.0 also alerts '2'. I reinstalled FF v2.0 but this hasn't helped, I also checked the options and couldn't see anything regarding XML.

I've used XML with FF before without any problems.
