manipulate xml that supports both IE and Mozilla

[jrefactors]

I want to use javascript to manipulate XML files.

The following code works in IE but it won't work in Mozilla.
var xml = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");

Any way to make it work in cross browsers?

please advise. thanks!!

Hi

XMLHttpRequest is what you are after.

------------ SAMPLE CODE -------------
var xml;
try { xml = new XMLHttpRequest();}
catch (e) { xml = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); }

--------------------------------------

With these you can use POST and GET to retrive XML from a server.

See

and if you also want to send XML back to the server then also
