success isn't successful, it just gets back the xml if successful or in the
case of firefox, it seems to get a special parsererror (formatted as xml)!
I've removed all callbacks except complete, I have to do a lot of browser
specific code to determine if the xml is malformed or the file is missing.
the final case is the actual success.
this is what I have so far:
var surveyComplete = function(xrh, status){
var xml = xrh.responseXML
if (status!="success")
theSurvey
.append("<h1>" + status.toUpperCase() + " requesting page "
+ url + "</h1>")
.append("<pre>" + xrh.responseText + "</pre>")
else if (xml && xml.hasChildNodes && !xml.hasChildNodes())
form.html("<h1> broken xml </h1>")
else if ( xml && xml.firstChild.nodeName == "parsererror")
form.html($.xml(xml))
else
surveyProcess(xml)
}
$.ajax({url:url,datatype:'xml',complete:surveyComplete})

Yes, I think so. Or the success callback. The reason is, that the
response has been successfully delivered, just with ill-formed XML.
You may need a try/catch, but I don't know how browsers handle
ill-formed XML, e.g. if you can catch that error...
