Hi John,
yes I first encountered the problem with an earlier version.
I now replaced the old version of jQuery with the version you specified and
replaced the deprecated syntax.
The problem still persists.
In a responseXML containing XML without namespaces, Opera and FF find all the
elements and IE finds nothing.
If the responseXML contains namespaces but doesn't use prefixes, FF and Opera
find all the elements (ignoring the namespaces of the elements) and IE finds
nothing.
If the responseXML contains both namespaces prefixes, no browser finds the
elements (but I guess for different reasons).
I don't know if the mailing list accepts attachments so I'll include the test
case I used here:
First the JS: <test.js>
function testFunc() {
function jqueryback(httprequest) {
var resp = httprequest.responseXML;
$("body").append("<p>divs found in document: "+$("div").length+"/3</p>");
$("body").append("<p>properties found in responseXML "+$("properties",
resp).length+"/1</p>");
$("body").append("<p>jsconf found in responseXML "+$("jsconf",
resp).length+"/1</p>");
$("body").append("<p>things found in responseXML "+$("thing",
resp).length+"/2</p>");
}
$.ajax({
url: "with_fries.xml",
type: "GET",
data: "",
success: jqueryback
});
}
The XML: <with_fries.xml> (to get the other two testcases simply remove the
prefixes and/or namespace declarations
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
<soap:Body>
<jsconf xmlns="http://www.example.com/ns1";>
<ab:response xmlns:ab="http://www.example.com/ns2";>
<ab:meta>
<ab:component id="seite1">
<cd:properties xmlns:cd="http://www.example.com/ns3";>
<cd:property
name="prop1"><cd:thing/><cd:value>1</cd:value></cd:property>
<cd:property name="prop2"><cd:thing
att="something"/></cd:property>
</cd:properties>
</ab:component>
</ab:meta>
</ab:response>
</jsconf>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
And the html file: <test.html>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html>
<head>
<title>XML Test</title>
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">

<script src="jquery-1.0.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="test.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(testFunc);</script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<div><div>Testing jQuery's ability to find nodes in responseXML on
various browsers</div></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Thank you!
