Question

Any pointers on creating XML from the DOM in Javascript on IE 7/8?

I use document.createDocumentFragment() and XMLSerializer().serializeToString() on FF/Chrome/Safari, but on IE8 document.createDocumentFragment() creates a DispHTMLDocument object, which doesn’t seem to be of any use.

Is there something in IE that I haven’t come across or do I have to write something myself to generate XML?

Answer 1

xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
fragm = xmlDoc.createDocumentFragment();
