Description

Call $.ajax(parm) where parm.dataType is "xml", and the url winds up as xhtml being served as text/html the responseXML is not generated. So...

Make sure we get the dom parsed. if ( xml.overrideMimeType && dataType == "xml")

xml.overrideMimeType('text/xml');

give us the responseXML in addition to responseText

I think what's being driven at here is that the dataType should try harder to force the results into its specified type.

This can be done just by adding the line: if ( dataType == "xml" )

xml.overrideMimeType('text/xml');

This won't effect anyones existing XML-related code, instead it'll just help to fix a lot of the confusion that surrounds incorrect headers and Ajax. I say add those two lines!

Actually, looking back at his code - just include it as-is. I think it's a good addition that will help to reduce the "weirdness" that people encounter when first learning Ajax.

I didn't realize that overrideMimeType didn't exist in IE, though. So it sounds like users will just have to tough it out for now.
