    it fails on the var xml = GXml.parse(data) so obviously there’s something wrong with the xml returned by phpsqlajax_genxml3.php

    <marker name="Olle Albinsson" street="Professorsvägen" latitude="65.617922" longitude="22.152571" />

    seems like special chars?

    UPDATE

    To debug these bugs in Internet Explorer you can use the “Developer Tools”. When you press F12 within IE you get some firebug/chrome debug like tool. Checking the console will give you alote of information when have javascript errors.

    In your case i checked the Network tab and copy paste the content of the xml into a document. The IE developer tool console said there we’re problems on line * what seems to be the marker as specified above.

    Good luck
