Hi Jonathon Watt,
This seems a rather peculiar implementation... How do you distinguish
between success and failure in the above situation?
i.e. consider:
x=new DOMParser();
out=x.parseFromString('<parsererror
xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/xml/parsererror.xml">XML Parsing
Error: no element found Location: file:///c:/test.html Line Number 1, Column
6:<sourcetext> -----^</sourcetext></parseerror', "text/xml");
Which you might do if you were using a tool which consumed bug reports, how
do you know if you've got a real error, or parsing failed?
Cheers,
Jim.
