This code wont work on firefox and crome

Hi the code below will not execute properly on chrome or firefox,

I am using PHPstorm to debug and the watches say that arrays dont get assigned to using the = operartor, I would go as far and say that assigning variables with values from the xmlDoc object dont seem to work
an example is:

lenght = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('name').length;

your help would be most appreciated Thanks!.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script type="text/javascript" >
 


  function parsexml(sender)
  {

var index;
var fname;
var lenght;
var parmsarray = new Array();
var position
var aElements = sender.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName("a");
var aElementsLength = aElements.length;
var tmp;
      


      var success;

	if (document.implementation && document.implementation.createDocument)
	{
		xmlDoc = document.implementation.createDocument("", 'doc', null);
	}
	else if (window.ActiveXObject)
	{
		var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
		//alert('internet explorer');
 	}
	else
	{
		alert('Your browser can\'t handle this script');
		return;
	}

xmlDoc.async="false";
success=xmlDoc.load("ClickSlector.xml");


for (var i = 0; i < aElementsLength; i++)
{
    if (aElements[i] == sender)
    {
         position = i;
      //  return pos;
    }
}

lenght = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('name').length;

for(i=0;i<lenght;i++)
{
	parmsarray[i]= xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('name')[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
}

      
tmp =  parmsarray[position];

 document.getElementById("header-3").style.backgroundImage = "url("+tmp+")";

      str =  document.getElementById("header-3").style.backgroundImage
}

  </script>

    <style type="text/css">
#header-3 {
	height: 400px;
	width: 700px;
}
</style>



</head>

<body>
<div id ="header-3">
</div>

<ul>
            <li><a href="#" onclick="parsexml(this)">One</a></li>
            <li><a href="#" onclick="parsexml(this)">Two</a></li>
            <li><a href="#" onclick="parsexml(this)">Three</a></li>
            <li><a href="#" onclick="parsexml(this)">Four</a></li>
        </ul>


</body>

I'm not sure if i am creating the XML object the correct way for chrome and firefox

**Kor** · 05-05-2011 03:02 AM

I guess it should be:

Code:

xmlDoc.document.getElementsByTagName('name')[i]

or even better

Code:

xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName('name')[i]
