Read xml file into HTML table
-
Trying to read xml file into html table. pretty simple stuff. I got an example off the net to work BUT only in IE, I would like it to work atleast in a few browsers rather than just one being IE. I tried: opera netscape firefox but didnt display xml data. Can anyone see if the code should be changed or have any suggestions to do this simple task

can anyone suggest a cross browser compatible code then ? surely this is a task that has been done many times ? thanks anyway Stefan
I think the safest way regarding browser compatibility is to use XSL/XSLT to transform the XML document into a plain XHTML document without any fancy browser specific stuff. A good starting point for reading is this XSLT Tutorial[^]. Besides this, I'm quite sure the internet is full of more resources. Simply google for the involved technologies.
