If you pass a string to
loadXMLthat isn’t a well-formed XML document, the document object will be empty (no childNodes) andxmlDoc.parseError.errorCodewill be set to something other than0.xmlDoc.parseError.reasonwill give you a user-readable error message.If you want to test a snippet and not a full document, wrap it in
<x>…</x>tags so that the parser will only see one root element.(There are a few reasons that MSXML might fail to parse a document other than it being non-well-formed. For example an external DTD subset or entity might not be network-reachable, or the DTD might use features MSXML doesn’t support. You can’t use MSXML to parse XHTML documents with their DTD for this reason. But if DTD-cruft isn’t involved, a parser failure means the input wasn’t well-formed.)
