Loading an in-memory XmlDocument directly into an XMLDOM object

[Robert Zurer]

Hello all,

I want to load an in-memory XmlDocument from the server to the client and
create an XMLDOM object using javascript.

I can do it from a url by calling this Javascript from the client.

var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject(" Microsoft.XMLDO M");
xmlDoc.async = "false";
xmlDoc.load(url );

but I want to load it directly from the server.

I have tried to use the Xml server control. This deposits the xml ob the client
but I don't know how to load it into an XMLDOM.

As a workaround, I wrapped the XML server control in a div ('divTest') and
called this javascript

var divTest = document.getEle mentById("divTe st");
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject(" Microsoft.XMLDO M");
xmlDoc.async = "false";
xmlDoc.loadXML( divTest.innerHT ML);

this worked, but was extremely messy as innerHTML changes all node names to
uppercase -- not really an option.

My gut feeling is that this all very simple but I'm missing something. Is there
a way to read the OutputStream directly into a client-side object or some
such??

Anyone?

TIA
