Item List for XML Node in IE

[Prashant Mahajan]

Hi All,

I am facing a problem regarding accessing the item list of an XML node
in IE.
While using the following code:

for(test in XMLNode) {}

I received this XML Node from AJAX's responseXML. This fetches item
list in Mozilla and Opera, however it creates errors in IE.

Any help or support will be highly appreciated.

You can access XMLNode.childNodes, the child nodes that nodes have, as a
node list. You can then iterate over that list with a normal for loop
for (var i = 0, c = XMLNode.childNodes, l = c.length; i < l; i++) {
var child = c;
}

On the other hand your example does not really make sense to me if
XMLNode is really a single XML DOM node as that loop would then iterate
over the property names of that node.

I am sorry If I stated the question in an incorrect way. I don't want
the children of the XML node. I want to iterate through the item list
of the object. Items like:
1. XMLNode.nodeName
2. XMLNode.getAttribute
3. XMLNode.childNodes
4. XMLNode.nodeValue
5. XMLNode.nodeType
6. XMLNode.parentNode
7. XMLNode.firstChild
and so on...

These are the properties/members of the object. But XML nodes are host
objects and for..in enumerates the enumerable properties of an object
where host objects are free to define which properties are enumerable
and which not. Thus if for..in with a host object does not enumerate the
properties you are expecting there is nothing you can change in your code.
