Hi,
I am writing you with reference to your online post. I tried to implement the same in my code but getting http.responsetext has no properties error.I will be greatful if you can help me to sort the same out.
Here is the code i am using to generate the xml response.

if($sInfo == '') {
if($oResult = mysql_query($sQuery) and mysql_num_rows($oResult) > 0) {
$aValues = mysql_fetch_array($oResult,MYSQL_ASSOC);

//"header("Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8")";
$xml = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\"?><root>";
$xml.= "<itemdetails>";
$xml.= '<partno>'.$aValues['partno']. '</partno>';
$xml.= '<serialno>'.$aValues['serialno']. '</serialno>';
$xml.= '<landing_price>'.$aValues['landing_price']. '</landing_price>';
$xml.= '<purchase_date>'.$aValues['purchase_date']. '</purchase_date>';
$xml.= "</itemdetails>";
$xml.= "</root>";
print_r($xml);
}
}
Here is the code i am using to receive the values from the xml.
i am checking the response header as 'text/xml'.

if(http.status==200) {
alert(http.getAllResponseHeaders());

// var item_code=document.getElementById("ampleno").value ;;
var xmldoc = http.responseText;
alert(xmldoc);
//var message_nodes = http.responseText.getElementsByTagName("itemdetail s");
//var n_messages = message_nodes.length;
itemdetails = xmldoc.responseXML;

var partno = itemdetails.getElementsByTagName('partno').firstCh ild.data;
alert('partno ' + partno);


Please help me. I will appreciate it.
Hope to receive your response immediately.
Thanks in advance.

With regards
Ashwini

do NOT use responseText IF the return values are going to be XML code. (as your code is).

responseText does NOT process the "<?" declaration so use responseXML instead.

responsetext is just a string, it has no properties

You can't use DOM methods on responsetext because it is nothing but a string.

In the code you gave you are using the method getElementsByTagName(). This is a DOM method, you can't use it on a string, even if the string contains html.
