problems on microsoft XMLDOM in Mozila

Hello,
IE is fine,
but when I am using Mozila browser and do in javascript as follows :

var current_menu;
current_menu = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");

....
It works only for Internet Explorer.
For Mozila/Netscape/Fire-Fox - it is an error.

What can I do instead ?

Thanks

Well, of course it doesn't work - it's an IE-only feature.

what is it you're trying to do exactly?

Umm, I think he's trying to use the MS XML Parser in
Mozila/Netscape/Fire-Fox.

Eitan, Google is your friend:

So, I see I should have code for IE, and code for Mozila/Netscape (isn't any
elegant way to do so - or a fixed javascript, for each xml function, so I
can use it).

After reading the links,
I was trying to do something like :
var current_menu;
if (document.implementation && document.implementation.createDocument)
{
// MOZILLA
current_menu = document.implementation.createDocument("", "doc", null);
current_menu.load(my_xml_file_name);
}
else
{
current_menu = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
current_menu.async=false;
current_menu.load(my_xml_file_name);
}

.... Things look to be work fine,
but I see that other commands are not available for Mozila.
I didn't understand from the links,
but how can I do the equivalant on Mozila for :
alert (current_menu.xml);

Thanks

To tell you the truth, I don't know. I've always developed for IE only.
Hopefully one of the other regulars in this group will weigh in (Dave
Anderson, where are you? :-) )

When developing web-sites, about 90% use IE,
but what about the others - they couldn't see the site properly.

I also write mainly for IE, but I want that as many people could see my
internet site properly.
Besides, there is a race outside, and what I know is that .NET classes can
be seen only on IE version 6.0 and upper only...
so it may not be a big dill if my site will be IE only, as you stated.

I need to find an elegant solution for a site that is both seen in IE and
Netscape.
What should be my attitudes for building my site to be seen properly both on
IE & Netscape ?
(some of my attitudes : using frames, so all the elements will be seen at
their proper positions, and use little code in flash).

Thanks
