Trouble with loadXML from string

Wed, 29 Aug 2007 04:43:31 -0700

Hi, I got some trouble parsing an XML response from a string in IExplorer. The javascript code that does the parsing looks like this:

if (typeof DOMParser == "undefined") {
                        DOMParser = function () {}
                        DOMParser.prototype.parseFromString = function (str, contentType) {
                            if (typeof ActiveXObject != "undefined") {
                               var d = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
                               d.async="false";
                               d.loadXML(str);
                               return d;
                            } else if (typeof XMLHttpRequest != "undefined") {
                               var req = new XMLHttpRequest;
                               req.open("GET", "data:" + (contentType || "application/xml") +";charset=utf-8," + encodeURIComponent(str), false);
                                if (req.overrideMimeType) {
                                req.overrideMimeType(contentType);
                                }
                               req.send(null);
                               return req.responseXML;
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    var xml = (new DOMParser()).parseFromString(text, "text/xml");

where "text" (in the last line) is a string with the response I recieve from the server. In firefox and opera it works fine, but in Iexplorer "xml"(in the last line) is a empty xml document no matter what I do input as "text". What am I doing wrong?
