[Javascript] Microsoft.XMLDOM onreadystatechange

[Håkan Magnusson]

Thanks Cutter, but according to several testcases over the last few 
months, this is JavaScript. :-)

It actually works all the way, the only thing that doesn't work is the 
"this", or more specifik, finding the XMLDOM-object that fires the 
onreadystatechange-event. We were actually using the 
Microsoft.XMLHTTP-ActiveXObject at first, and tried the XMLDOM-object to 
see if it worked better.

But the loading, parsing and displaying of XML-documents work fine in 
IE5.0+, and it's JavaScript.
