Michael, I tried your test verbatim as the callback to my $.ajax { complete : yourFunctionNameHere }. Worked like a charm. I saw the expected results in the console.
However, when switch your xml to be evaluated out for the xhr.responseText - I get an "error" in firebug "XML or text declaration not at start of entity". Just to check, I put an alert right before the call to parseXML() and I can see the full xml of the response. alert(res.responseText); var dom = parseXML(res.responseText); I couldn't tell what caused the hiccup. Any ideas?
