Hello,

So I have been making a website for a friend that requires posts to be loaded via an external XML sheet on the server. I am more or less using w3schools example ([http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml\_to\_html.asp](http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_to_html.asp)). The problem is that it does not load using safari 4 or google chrome web browser. is there any reasons? I have been trying to google it but I am not sure exactly what I am looking for.

w3schools code that does not work in chrome or safari 4

> \<html\>  
> \<body\>

\<script type=“text/javascript”\>  
var xmlDoc=null;  
if (window.ActiveXObject)  
{// code for IE  
xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject(“Microsoft.XMLDOM”);  
}  
else if (document.implementation.createDocument)  
{// code for Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, etc.  
xmlDoc=document.implementation.createDocument(“”,“”,null);  
}  
else  
{  
alert(‘Your browser cannot handle this script’);  
}  
if (xmlDoc!=null)  
{  
xmlDoc.async=false;  
xmlDoc.load(“cd\_catalog.xml”);

document.write(“\<table border=‘1’\>”);

var x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName(“CD”);  
for (i=0;i\<x.length;i++)  
{  
document.write(“\<tr\>”);  
document.write(“\<td\>”);  
document.write(  
x\*.getElementsByTagName(“ARTIST”)[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);  
document.write(“\</td\>”);

document.write(“\<td\>”);  
document.write(  
x\*.getElementsByTagName(“TITLE”)[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);  
document.write(“\</td\>”);  
document.write(“\</tr\>”);  
}  
document.write(“\</table\>”);  
}  
\</script\>

\</body\>  
\</html\>

Thank you in advance for your help!
