innerHTML after XMLHttpRequest not working on IE9
Question
I have the following black of code which is working perfectly fine on Chrome & Firefox but fails everytime on IE, it returns "undefined" in the console tab.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="/js/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function()
{
test();
});
function test()
{
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","/xml/products.xml",false);
xmlhttp.send();
xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML;
var list = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("product");
console.log(list[0].childNodes[1].innerHTML);
}
</script>
</head>
</html>
The XML i'm using is the following :
Thanks for your time.
EDIT: jQuery ajax version not working either:
var xmlDoc;
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "/xml/products.xml",
dataType: "xml",
success: function (xml) {
xmlDoc = xml;
var list=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("product");
console.log(list[1].childNodes[1].innerHTML );
}
});

No idea why this works in Chrome and FF, it shouldn't actually 1 .
You are loading an XML document, and are successfully selecting an XML element node. Those don't have innerHTML properties 2 . You should use an XMLSerializer if you really need to get the markup of your xml document (maybe you're just looking for the .textContent ?).
var el = list[0].childNodes[1];
console.log(new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(el));
However, oldIE doesn't even know that, you'll need to use el.xml for them 3 .
1: At least not in older versions. See also does innerHTML work with XML Elements? .
2: Apparently, the DOM Parsing spec now includes a generic innerHTML attribute on all DOM elements
3: see JavaScript: Replacement for XMLSerializer.serializeToString()?
