Try for example these before using xmlDoc.documentElement
// document node: 9, element node: 1, text node: 3
alert(xmlDoc.nodeType);
alert(xmlDoc.tagName);
alert(xmlDoc.innerHTML);
alert(xmlDoc.documentElement);

It could be that the document you load isn't a valid DOM document.

If that is the case, then you could try just:
nodes = xmlDoc.childNodes

Have you read these already? They might help understanding 
document.implementation.createDocument
