[thelist] Problem with Mozilla AJAX response

[Mohsen Saboorian]

Thank you Robert, sure it can be inspected by DOM inspector, but since
I'm using an anonymous method for AJAX response (using jQuery), the
object is not added to window object. Anyway, I'm still able to
inspect it using FireBug.

Matt, I didn't said innerHTML for XML, I said "innerHTMLish", meaning
something like xml property for IE. I doubt if it is in DOM standard,
but then there would be a lack in standards, IMHO.

Mozilla has textContent property for all node objects (similar to
innerText for IE), but there is no proper property for accessing the
full XML-like content of a node.
You should traverse recursively on each node, extracting its name, and
node value, which is not an easy job!

Suppose that your response is an XHTML, but you only want a part of
that. When you finally find the node, there is no way to extract its
content in Mozilla/FF.

Thanks.
