Description
This ticket provides a fix for an IE bug: it won't parse an XML file without knowing that the file is XML. HTTP provides the Content-type header, but file:/ doesn't, and IE won't even fall back to the Windows file type settings (which would at least let it parse *.xml). Other browsers will attempt to parse XML from file:/ and don't have this problem.
This bug will affect anyone dry testing on the local file system with the Internet Explorer.
The fix checks whether the expected DOM tree is missing, and attempts to create it. A parse failure here leaves the HTTP request effectively in the same state as before.
The fix is 2 new lines of code in httpData(), directly before the "parsererror" test.
if ( xml && !data.documentElement && xhr.responseStream )
try { data.load( xhr.responseStream ); } catch(e){}
This patch is against jquery 1.2.6.

This is fixed with jQuery 1.5. Ypu just need to set dataType: "xml"
