  • Problem Description

    "StringValue" Method of "XML" plugin doesn't work properly on IE.

    In the runtime.js of xml plugin (row 270) actually Construct use this method

    						
    			if (!result)
    				ret.set_string("");
    			else if (this.runtime.isIE)
    				ret.set_string(result.nodeValue || "");
    			else
    				ret.set_string(result.stringValue || "");
    [/code:2p5lwknn]
    But The nodeValue property of XML elements is always null, because the element content is actually stored within text nodes inside the element. If the content is simple enough, you can do something like [i]result.firstChild.nodeValue[/i] but i personally prefer the [url=http://help.dottoro.com/ljmmmksq.php]nodeTypedValue[/url] method. 
    Actually, I've modified the code as
    [code:2p5lwknn]
    			if (!result)
    				ret.set_string("");
    			else if (this.runtime.isIE)
    				ret.set_string(result.nodeTypedValue || ""); //Workaround by RisingPixel
    			else
    				ret.set_string(result.stringValue || "");
    [/code:2p5lwknn]
    And it works!
