JavaScript XML problem on Firefox

[DragonEye]

hi there,

I'm currently working on a JavaScript that should import the values of one tag in an XML file into an array. It works fine on Internet Explorer, but not on Firefox I think it is because of the getElementsByTagName() function

this is the part of the script that processes the XML file

function XMLimport()
{
	if (document.implementation && document.implementation.createDocument)
	{
		xmlDoc = document.implementation.createDocument("", "", null);
	}
	else if (window.ActiveXObject)
	{
		var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
		xmlDoc.async="false";
 	}
	else
	{
		alert('Your browser can\'t handle this script');
		return;
	}
xmlDoc.load("artisttable.xml");

names = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('artist_name');

for(i=0;i<names.length;i++)
{
	suggestarray[suggestarray.length]=dbformtoregular(names.item(i).text);
}
alert(suggestarray.length);
}

The alert at the end is just a check that I implemented while debugging on Internet explorer it says 277, on firefox 0

The complete script is 4 pages and I needed 2 days to get it working completely, it worked for both browsers until I tried to make the link with XML.

some help would be welcome

I've never done anything like that and even such don't see what would be casuing a problem >.< sorry man I just don't have the knowledge to answer that

hey... no hard feelings

I just hoped somebody used XML in Javascript and noticed that firefox requires other code. I have found some pages on the internet stating that there is a problem, but I haven't found a working solution for it

grtz
