returning xml document function

[theS70RM]

Hi,

A simple function to return an xml document given its path:

function loadXML(xmlpath)
{
    // code for IE
    if (window.ActiveXObject)
    {
        xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
        xmlDoc.async=false;
        xmlDoc.load(xmlpath);
        return xmlDoc;
    }
    // code for Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, etc.
    else if (document.implementation &&    document.implementation.createDocument)
    {
        xmlDoc = document.implementation.createDocument("", "", null);
        xmlDoc.load(xmlpath);
        return xmlDoc;
    }
    else
    {
        alert('Your browser cannot handle this script');
        return null;
    }
}

this seems to work in internet explorer but not firefox. Can anyone shed any light on this?

cheers
