Hi all,

I'm writing a simple dictionary with php and ajax. It works perfects with
firefox but not in IE.
Here is the link

http://kllapa.com/fjahalori/test.html

I used alerts in js and find out that in the following function:

function updateMsgOnBrowser(testXML) {

var test = testXML.getElementsByTagName("test")[0];
var message=new Array(20);
var m = new Array(20);
var td = new Array(20);
var i;
for (i=1;i<=10;i++){
message[i]=testXML.getElementsByTagName("message"+i)[0];
message[i+1]=testXML.getElementsByTagName("message"+i+"r")[0];
if (message[i]!=null){m[i] = message[i].firstChild.nodeValue;}
else{m[i]=""}
if (message[i+1]!=null){m[i+1] = message[i+1].firstChild.nodeValue;}
else{m[i+1]=""}
td[i]= document.getElementById("td"+i);
td[i+1]= document.getElementById("td"+i+"r");
td[i].innerHTML=""+m[i];
td[i+1].innerHTML=""+m[i+1];
}
}

the line

message[i]=testXML.getElementsByTagName("message"+i)[0];

becomes null in IE when tag message contains special character (ë, ç, Ë, Ç,
etc.). Why this works perfect in Firefox?

Any idea what could be the issue??


Thanks in advance

Are the messages being sent as UTF-8 or something else? Is the server
sending the headers as something different to that listed in the header?
Actually, looking at it, you don't have a valid DOC-TYPE
<http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fkllapa.com%2Ffjahalori%2Fte st.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype =Inline&group=0>,
nor character Encoding set.

It might be something else, but I haven't played with enough AJAX to
debug the javascript.

Yeah you might want to check out HTML Entities
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php) - great help in
encoding. Then set a doc type too.
