…But making things browser specific is what we’re trying to avoid: it’s the 90′s all over again! So for small datapackages, i’ll use json.

Fix for IE:

var DataUtilities = (function() {

//Privileged variables and methods
var self = {
“processXML”: function(xml) {
if (!jQuery.support.htmlSerialize) {
//If IE 6+
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject(“Microsoft.XMLDOM”);
xmlDoc.loadXML(xml);
xml = xmlDoc;
}
return xml;
}
};
return self;
})();

then just do this:

xml = DataUtilities.processXML(xml);

This is a great solution, but as Eric mentioned, it does not work on IE or more specifically IE6 (The devils spawn).
There are still a lot of people with IE6 out there, and It would be great if this were cross browser compatible. So far it works for IE7 and above and Fire fox. I haven’t checked other browsers yet.

What version of IE are you using? The demo works for me in IE7.

Anyway it won’t work for IE. Can you provide an alternative solution for IE?
