[xmljs-users] xmlIOLoadLocalData (cursor stays in waiting state in firefox)

[Piet E. <pie...@gm...>]

hello,

i have a problem with xmlIOLoadLocalData.
whenever i load my xml file from the local system it looks like the browser
never stops doing "something". the cursor stays in the waiting state. at th=
e
same time the function fully works and i can use all of the functionalities
that i need to read the content.

I only have the problem in Firefox. Internet Explorer runs fine.

Javascript:
this.onload =3D function() {
    xmlIOLoadLocalData("catalog.html", "ReadXML");
}

catalog.html:
=AB?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"UTF-8"?=BB
=ABcatalog=BB
  =ABproducts=BB
    =ABproduct name=3D"p1"/>
    =ABproduct name=3D"p2"/>
    =ABproduct name=3D"p3"/>
  =AB/products=BB
=AB/catalog=BB

i hope someone can help me with this.
thanks.

Hi,

   The root of the problem is in the "__loadLocalIFrameXML()"
   function in "xmlIO.js".

   Find the following code:

        try {
            document.body.removeChild(dataFrame);
        }
        catch (badFailure) {

   The line:

      document.body.removeChild(dataFrame);

   causes the problem; by commenting it, you'll get rid of the bug.
   I'm unsure of why exactly this happens and I'll definitely try to
   resolve it. Next release (which is due to end of March) will fix
   this and many other problems I've found.

  Best regards,
