I'm guessing these are just code fragments, as xDoc.readyState would
probably not make it to 4 in time to get to the part that //works .
(xDoc.onreadystatechange)
I'm staring at this waiting for something to jump out at me , but
I'm leaning towards the thought that there may be more to this problem
than what we can see here
I myself have already made this journey, and the result was that
I created a little library jsXMLlib.js that merged the functionality
of XMLDOM and XMLHTTP into a little javascript class. Declaring a new
connection goes like this new DCxml(yourURL,yourCallbackFunction)
and as a bonus , I can open many connections at the same time.
Perhaps if you had a sample URL , where we could see what your trying to
do in it's totality.
