How to get innerXml or outer XML in JavaScript and FireFox
When using IE, the following works are done -
alert("XML Root IE: " + xmlDoc.documentElement.tagName); // ok
alert("Xml: " + xmlDoc.documentElement.xml); // ok
but for FireFox the functions xml, innerxml, outerxml are all undefined.
alert("tagName: " + xmlDoc.documentElement.tagName); // ok
alert("Xml Content: " + xmlDoc.documentElement.xml); // undefined
alert("Xml innerxml: " + xmlDoc.documentElement.innerxml); // undefined
alert("Xml outerxml: " + xmlDoc.documentElement.outerxml); // undefined
How do I get the actual XML on FireFox? (I know I read the XML correctly because "documentElement.tagName" correctly returns IE and FF)
Thank,
Atar
EDIT: Here is the relevant FF code:
var xmlDoc;
function fLoadXml() {
// alert("fLoadXml()");
if (window.ActiveXObject) { // IE
fLoadXmlIE()
} else if (document.implementation && document.implementation.createDocument) { // FF
fLoadXmlFF()
}
}
function fLoadXmlFF() {
// alert("fLoadXmlFF()");
xmlDoc = document.implementation.createDocument("","",null) ;
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.onload = fReadXmlFF;
var loaded = xmlDoc.load("myFile.xml");
alert("loaded: " + loaded);
}
function fReadXmlFF() {
alert("fReadXmlFF()");
alert("tagName: " + xmlDoc.documentElement.tagName);
alert("Xml Content: " + xmlDoc.documentElement.xml); // undefined
alert("Xml innerxml: " + xmlDoc.documentElement.innerxml); // undefined
alert("Xml outerxml: " + xmlDoc.documentElement.outerxml); // undefined
}

Found it - http://www.hiteshagrawal.com/javascript/convert-xml-document-to-string-in-javascript
Decision:
function fReadXmlFF() {
alert("tagName: " + xmlDoc.documentElement.tagName); // ok
strXml = (new XMLSerializer()).serializeToString(xmlDoc); // ok

xml is IE only property, try something else like ChildNodes and NodeValue check here: http://www.w3schools.com/dom/dom_document.asp
