problems on microsoft XMLDOM in Mozila

[Eitan]

Hello,
IE is fine,
but when I am using Mozila browser and do in javascript as follows :

var current_menu;
current_menu = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");

....
It works only for Internet Explorer.
For Mozila/Netscape/Fire-Fox - it is an error.

What can I do instead ?

Thanks

It really depends on what you want to do, if you want to create a DOM
document in memory you can do it as follows in Mozilla (and in the
upcoming Opera 7.6x):

var xmlDocument;
if (document.implementation &&
document.implementation.createDocument &&
(xmlDocument = document.implementation.createDocument('', 'gods',
null))) {
var god = xmlDocument.createElement('god');
god.appendChild(xmlDocument.createTextNode('Kibo'));
xmlDocument.documentElement.appendChild(god);
}

It should work with other browsers implementing the DOM Level 2 Core too.

If you want to load a document from a URL use XMLHttpRequest, example is
