I am opening simple xml data file to populate a page, works great in chrome but in ff and IE the xml variable appears to be empty. Using Firebug I see the response to the get statement shows the xml so it appears I'm doing something wrong trying to get the response data into my inputs.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong for getting this data for FF and IE?

xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.open("GET","ticketData.xml",false);
xmlhttp.send();
var xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML;
var emps = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("employee");
var startTickets = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("start");
var assignTick = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("assigned");
var reopenTick = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("reopened");
var handoffTick = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("handoff");
var endTick = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("end");


alert(xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName('EmpTickets').length);
	for(var x=0;x < emps.length;x++)
	{
		alert("inside");
		var empNum = "emp" + x;
		document.getElementById(empNum).innerHTML=
		emps[x].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
	}

XML

Can you post a sample of the XML document? Perhaps it is malformed in some way.

Try also with:

var emps = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("employee");

and alert or console.log emps[x].hasChildNodes() within the loop.

That's just a badly designed XML document, IME.

Should be something like

<?xml version="1.1" ?>
<EmpTickets>
  <employee>
    <name>mfizhug</name>
    <start>1</start>
    <reopened>1</reopened>
    <assigned>1</assigned>
    <handoff>1</handoff>
    <end>1</end>
  </employee>
</EmpTickets>

Also, XML version 1.1? That might be a problem as well.

So after banging my head forever and trying your suggestions I found it was the xml encoding and version.

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
