All, I wasn't sure if this got lost in the shuffle of my first post. Does anyone know why the following works under FF and not under IE7? There are comments within the code to explain what I'm seeing. Sorry, I don't have an external facing website on which to post this.

I have the following really simple html file with jQuery-based JavaScript to open, read and display part of an xml file. It works fine on FF 3.5.2, but does not work on IE7. Am I missing something really simple to make jQuery work on IE7? Any help would be great, thanks! Doug Knight Here's the html/JavaScript: <html> <head> <title>Read XML</title> <script src="lib/jquery.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> jQuery(function(){ //$(document).ready(function(){ jQuery.get("test.xml",{},function(xml){ //$.get("test.xml",{},function(xml){ DBArea = ''; // This displays the values from the XML file DBArea += "xml = :" + xml + ":\n"; // I get blanks here DBArea += "$(xml).text() = :" + $(xml).text() + ":\n"; // The following gives [Object Object] ph_sites = $(xml).find('product_header_sites'); DBArea += "ph_sites = :" + ph_sites + ":\n"; // And the following gives blanks too ph_sites = $(xml).find('product_header_sites').text(); DBArea += "ph_sites = :" + ph_sites + ":\n"; // Update the DIV called Content Area with the HTML string $("#DebugArea").append("<pre>" + DBArea + "</pre>"); }); }); </script> </head> <body> <div id="DebugArea"></div> </body> </html> And here's the XML file: <text_msg> <product_header> <product_header_site_id>255</product_header_site_id> <product_header_node>191</product_header_node> <product_header_byte_count>332</product_header_byte_count> <product_header_product_type>2</product_header_product_type> <product_header_product_status>0</product_header_product_status> <product_header_sites>F90</product_header_sites> </product_header> </text_msg>
