Safari 3.0.4: The following code FAILS with the following: TypeError: Value undefined (result of expression xmlDoc.load) is not object. http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/tryit_view.asp?filename=try_xpath_select_cdnodes Note: Safari passes the W3C conditional as stated, but *failed* in creating a DOM doc. The code is: <html> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> function loadXMLDoc(fname) { var xmlDoc; // code for IE if (window.ActiveXObject) { xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM"); } // code for Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, etc. else if (document.implementation && document.implementation.createDocument) { xmlDoc=document.implementation.createDocument("","",null); } else { alert('Your browser cannot handle this script'); } xmlDoc.async=false; xmlDoc.load(fname); return(xmlDoc); } xml=loadXMLDoc("books.xml"); path="/bookstore/book/title" // code for IE if (window.ActiveXObject) { var nodes=xml.selectNodes(path); for (i=0;i<nodes.length;i++) { document.write(nodes[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue); document.write("<br />"); } } // code for Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, etc. else if (document.implementation && document.implementation.createDocument) { var nodes=document.evaluate(path, xml, null, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null); var result=nodes.iterateNext(); while (result) { document.write(result.childNodes[0].nodeValue); document.write("<br />"); result=nodes.iterateNext(); } } </script> </body> </html> --------- You can see for yourself via the following link: http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/tryit.asp?filename=try_xpath_select_cdnodes This works with Mozilla & IE; but *NOT* Safari 3.0.4 (Mac/Win).

Sure, we don't currently support the non-standard Document.load extension. This is a mistake for w3schools.com to recommend it. And most certainly, this has nothing to do with the original bug.

Mass moving XML DOM bugs to the "DOM" Component.
