Description

Built a simple photo gallery with XML and Jquery. Works Perfect in Firefox, and displays nothing in IE6/7. I have examined the produced code with FireBug, and it looks exactly as it should.

From the research I have found, it's either an issue with XML being called as ActiveX (which may not be a Jquery bug, just an issue with IE) or something with .html... I don't think that is the answer.

Attached is the source.

There's no javascript in the file you included.

But maybe this helps:

I accidentally added the same file twice. xmlgallery.htm and gallery.js should help out.

As it's said in the link above jQuery can't really parse xml, "It's an HTML parser. Sure, it will do some kind of passable job of parsing

some kinds of XML, sort of, in some browsers."

Also, there's all the code you need!

Sorry, I just noticed that with xml datatype it should really work.

Maybe the xml document itself would help the most to identify the problem.

The reason for the ticket, in my opinion, is the fact that they have a $.ajax function that is supposed to read from XML files. If it doesn't read it cross-browser, then it appears to be a bug to me. I haven't had a chance, but I will try the parseXml function from the above link, but I'm not sure it's doing what I want here.

I tried your code as it is and for me it works in IE as well! Maybe you have ActiveX turned off, so ajax request aren't possible that way. But if you post it on the mailing list more people could help :)
