unable to update div in IE

I have been banging my head against this problem for a while and seem to be
overlooking something.  I have a div that I''m trying to populate
through an ajax request.  It works like a charm in Firefox, but I can''t
seem to make it work in IE.  I''ve read through the documentation and
have gone through the messages that seem to be related to this issue.  Does
anyone have any thoughts on what I''m missing?

Re: unable to update div in IE

I have.  I switched from Ajax.Updater to Ajax.Request because of the same issue.

Do any of your alerts fire in IE, or does nothing at all work at all?  
Can you try adding Firebug Lite to the mix and see if it flags  
anything for you?

Re: unable to update div in IE

Thanks for the ideas.

I switched onSuccess to onComplete and it didn''t affect anything.

In both browsers,

        alert (''filter-box should now be updated.\n\n'' +
transport.responseText);

is fired as expected complete with the source code I''m looking for. 
The odd thing to me is the update statement fails to fire in IE only.

In both browsers,

       alert (''filter-box should now be updated.\n\n'' +
transport.responseText);

is fired as expected complete with the source code I''m looking for. 
The odd thing to me is the update statement fails to fire in IE only.

Also, try making this onComplete, and see if it makes any difference.

Re: unable to update div in IE

Hi,

First thing to check: are all your ids unique on the page ?

Do you have an element with a name attribute of ''filter-box'' ?
(IE
shares the same namespace for name and id attributes).

Hope this helps!

Best,

Tobie

Re: unable to update div in IE

Hi Tobie,

thanks for your quick response. well I am reading a static xml through
the Ajax.Request and my ids are all unique and without any "_"
underscores..

method: ''get'',
onComplete: function(transport){

var site = transport.responseXML.documentElement;

$(''resultContainer'').update(site);

alert($(''resultContainer'').innerHTML);

},

the alert in firefox shows the xml, the alert in IE is empty.

Re: unable to update div in IE

oh, that''s totally unrelated to the previous issue.

To tell you the truth, I have no experience in parsing xml in JS, as I
much rather rely on JSON.

If you want to use Element#update, you should be loading HTML, not
XML, and using the responseText property.

Best,

Tobie

Re: unable to update div in IE

oh, sorry, for the wrong issue, but I also read a smiliar thread with
responseXML insteadof responseText but having the same problems.
but maybe your answers helps, too. is it in general possible to
Element#update / appendChild with XML Tags instead of HTML Tags in IE?
Maybe there''s my main error !?

Thanks,
Max

Re: unable to update div in IE

You''ll need to parse the XML to do that.

You might either need to insert it with Element#insert or transform it
into an HTML string before ou insert it.

Either way, I encourage you to try using HTML instead, much better for
your usecase.

Best,

Tobie

Re: unable to update div in IE

This may sound stupid, but how do I transform my xml to html to us it
instead?
my xml consists only of data tags, no html tags. so I just want to
append it in the background to extract the information with $$
function.

And the question that drives me nuts is why''s there a responseXML when
you cannot make use of $ or $$ functions in IE...

Maybe I don''t see the tree...

Thanks for your patience,
Max

Or even better. You tell me a the client lib you use to parse a xml

On the server... or using regular JS.

you''re also welcomed to submit a patch to make $$ work on

Re: unable to update div in IE

I have found no magic bullet to convert XML to JSON.

I started building an Ajax project where I was serving my data as XML
and ran into the same IE vs Firefox problems. After bashing my head
against the wall for a few days I gave up on using Prototype to fetch
my XML and did it the old fashioned way:

if (document.implementation && document.implementation.createDocument)
{
	  var parser=new DOMParser();
	  xmlDoc=parser.parseFromString('''',"text/xml");
	  xmlDoc.load(''data.xml'');
	  x=setTimeout(''loadForm()'',500)
	  //pray that the xml loads in 500 ms.
	  //loadForm() is my function to parse the XML

}
if (window.ActiveXObject) {
	xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
	xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = function () {
		if (xmlDoc.readyState == 4) loadForm()
	};
	xmlDoc.load(''data.xml'');
}

Because that was a really ugly solution, I decided to scrap the XML
method and re-wrote my server code to spit out JSON instead. It was
elegant, my client code was smaller, faster and easier to read. I''m
never going back to XML.

Re: unable to update div in IE

You are both right, JSON is way more smart. My problem is that there
won''t be any dynamic serverside :( so I have to deal with
"ugly"
client code...
Well hope to find some time to get more into $$ and responseXML ;)

Thanks both
