ActiveX object works for IE only, for Moz you may use XML HTTP Request object.

See also this article (http://jibbering.com/2002/4/httprequest.html)

actually for the script
objPoster=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.4.0"); i have used

objPoster = new XMLHttpRequest();


now i have got xml string thorugh this code
objposter.responseText

since this is a response text xml is in the form of string

responsexml is not workign in mozila browsers

so i want to kwn how to get the xml mode values

the xml string is as follows
<districts>
<district code=001 name="xxx">
..
</districts>

i want to get the value stored in code and name nodes

how can i get it
objposter.responsexml.SelectNodes("distircts/district")
is not workign in mozila browsers

plz help me in this issue

I have heard about a crossbrowser library called SARISSA which might help you in your particular attempt. Google for it.

here's a start

responseXml is not workign in mozila browsers...

Sounds like the header content of the page is most liekly not set to text/xml. I ran into that problem.
