Okay, so here's the basics: It isn't .text(), that's just showing the problem. The problem is your $(xml) call. As I understand it, Jquery relies on the underlying DOM parser of the browser. Non-IE browsers handle XML casually, IE browsers are more specific. (as easy as it is to rip on MS/IE, I'm not convinced the IE behavior is wrong, per se, but it's clear that being right doesn't make things easier). Google for "JQuery IE XML Parsing" returns a fair number of hits on this if you want to delve in deeper. Sadly it looks like the answer is a little complicated. http://docs.jquery.com/Specifying_the_Data_Type_for_AJAX_Requests The above link covers your exact case and shows a work around for loading local files - it may behave differently on a server. I've not played with it myself as of yet. Sorry you didn't get a faster response. -- Brett Ritter / SwiftOne swift...@swiftone.org
