Hi, I'm wondering if anyone might be able to shed some light on this
situation.
I have been using jQuery 1.2.6 to parse XML and find specific nodes.
However, when I simply change the jQuery version to 1.3.2 the
following fails to work in IE, though still continues to work fine in
Firefox. Below is a simplified test case which hopefully someone will
be able to comment on.

createInitXMLObj();
/* === test.xml ===

$(xmlInitial).find("item:has(year:contains('2009')):has
(price:contains('9.99'))").each(function(){
alert($(this).children('name').text()); //
Should alert "item 1",
"item 2"
})
});// end DOM Ready

function createInitXMLObj(){
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "test.xml",
dataType: ($.browser.msie) ? "text" : "xml",
async: false,
error: function(e){
alert('error loading xml')
},
success: function(xml){
//work around for IE
var tempXML;
if (typeof xml == "string") {
tempXML = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
tempXML.async = false;
tempXML.loadXML(xml);
xml = tempXML;
}
xmlInitial = xml;
}
});
