Yes. Have you? Here, just to help you out:
Yes, indeed. It works with the specific example you tried below (using
XHTML), but not for generic XML, which is what the draft is using.
test.xhtml:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; id="one"/>
test.html:
<script>
var x = new XMLHttpRequest();
x.open("GET", "test.xhtml", false);
x.send("");
alert(x.responseXML.getElementById('one'));
</script>
But since you're apparently not willing to test yourself (the amount
of time it takes to write the test is smaller than the amount of
time it takes to send all these mails), I'll just let you know that
Gecko 1.8, Gecko 1.9, Safari 3.1, and Opera 9.25 all hand back the
HTMLElement from that getElementById call.
That's something :)
